karennma,
The other question I would like to ask you is:
#1-They said Stockfetcher people are not real traders. They are workforce refugees.
As recently as 2019, johnpaulca wrote a post to remind us
#2- Not everyone who trades can be called traders.
#3- Some us who didn't edge that in our minds might live to regret it.
Happy and humble investing
======================================
#1- Probably true. I got the impression that most SF subscribers had FT jobs.
I haven't worked full-time since 1988. So, when I joined SF in 2000 I was semi-retired.
#2- I quit trading about 3 years ago (2017) because frankly, it's too much work and time-consuming. There are a lot of threads on here I don't read because ... I am NOT a "trader" and I dislike anything that feels (to me) like gambling.
BTW, John Paulca WORKED FULL-TIME and traded while on the job.
People assume if you're on SF, you're trading. That is NOT true.
#3- I've been very transparent about NOT trading.
Just because I "post" messages here doesn't mean I'm trading.
See posts below ....

@ Dave,
Earlier this year I realized, in the long run, I would've been better off just holding thru thick n' thin.
So, I no longer trade positions. I also dislike "gambling"
I simply have a portfolio and I look at filters only to add to the portfolio.

I felt early in 2018 my portfolio was in trouble because I was NOT trading anymore - just holding.
"KNOW THYSELF" - and you won't burn yourself out - or worse, lose all your money.
Frankly,
I only have ONE position = long. When I think markets are gonna move against me in a big way, I bail, mainly because I don't like gambling. "Win a few, lose a few"? - I don't do that anymore. "Wait and See" ? Nope. Not me!
What I do, ain't "trading" .... What I do is: avoid risk, avoid volatility and avoid losses. It ain't "trading".
I've said this numerous times, and I'll repeat it ...
The name of this website is: SF "Stock Screening and Analysis".
Nowhere does it say "daytrading software".
Sadly, some of my favorite SF people are gone .. probably because ...
"KNOW THYSELF" - and you won't burn yourself out - or worse, lose all your money.

Full Disclosure:
There were also years when I wasn't in the market at all.
But I still posted here.
However, I NEVER "pretended" like I was trading.
That's dishonest .. and it's not funny if people lose money because you've posted BS.

to say that the pandemic is fake is a slap in the face to all the departed and their relatives, it's also a
punch in the face to all the healthcare workers who face this disease. Imagine working all day with a disease and then worrying if you are taking it home to your loved ones!

I believe pandemic is real - but I also believe that in countries where politics is tight or election year is on hand ..... you don’t let such crises go to waste either

I believe pandemic is real -
==============================
Yes, it's real.
Suppose you get a covid test and it comes back positive ...
If you're still alive and asymptomatic, then what?
You have the antibodies. So what?
I can tell you right now, if you've been around a bunch of kids ... you're contaminated! LOL!
"Spikes" are a reflection of the number of people being tested.
But implying that everyone who tests positive with antibodies is gonna get DEATHLY ill and contaminate others is misleading at best and "fake" at worst.

========================
- Fundamental Analysis - Watch for Fed liquidity pumps and interest rates
- Rainbow filters on SF (Guppy crossings that Mac posts)
- Check Twitter. Cheese has posted some people who are good technical analysts.
Also, read this thread ...

There are countless stories of individuals who did not take this seriously that have died.

all the different covid theories here prove one thing, we have no national direction,
50 governors without a CDC, the CDC was founded to fight disease, instead we have fifty different governors, some directed by politics, some damn ignorant, (one governor publicly stated he did not know that people without symptoms could be spreaders) making policy because there is no national direction- how many cdc meetings were made public in the last two months? the mortality rate for covid is ten times that of flu! trump wanted us to be number 1 , well we are, in deaths! shameful !

It appears that a lot of people believe that being positive and asymptomatic means that you cannot infect others when studies have shown that asymptomatic individuals are at a greater risk to spread than symptomatic individuals.
