I felt bad during the Christmas break - my retired dad scored 35% buying an SP500 ETF and I only made 4% with a delta neutral-ish diversified portfolio....it is being tested right now but holding fairly well. Regardless of risk, asset class, trading style or leverage - what is your annual performance between mid-march 2019 and mid-march 2020?
OK, a NASDAQ 100 buyer who bought on 03/13/2019 is up 2.8% as of today. It's a good unbiased benchmark we can all look at.
My best three days of 2019 are on this thread. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/dests-everything-journal.332136/page-11#post-4859112 There is no such animal as a DN portfolio... hence your performance deficit.
of course 12.75% doesn't mean any 12 month period, that would be a bank cd.... thing is - this baby is so much stronger than the other indexes.... DIA SPY all negatives right.... and IWM is trash.
No, just books. I can understand your skepticism, but it's a real number. Most people on ET find me to be an honest chap... GAT
