IDK what you mean, I held through COVID and it's been way up since then. Even if you bought the S&P 500 at the peak of February, right before it hit, you would have been back in the green within a year.

It appears that gravity has already taken over and softened this impact, too:

Again, I never said I've done poorly since COVID.

I've just managed to turn the current instability into profits. Ive done better this month, as I have set aggressive positions against the market in preparation.

When I mentioned COVID, I was mentioning, you know, the biggest drop in the market since the current one.
