If you were this sure, did you take a short position when pandemic was announced? Hindsight is 20/20.
Also not sure what you meant by when pandemic was "announced" but I guess you are referring to March 2020 broadly
- shrimpx 3y agoYeah March 2020. I was not actively trading stocks back then so I watched passively. I do think market timing is bad as a general strategy but sometimes the writing is on the wall. I have timed the market successfully since then though, when seeing glaring trends or decisions whose impact I thought was obvious. But that's small amounts of money at stake, and once in a great while.
