Found a spreadsheet with weekly results. This was me, 2003 - 2007 (in total return terms):
....and this is the SP 500:
Apparently, I was tracking the SP 500 quite closely before disaster struck. A bit behind, but not by much, which is fine, since I never risked everything, not by a long shot.
I do remember that once things really began to go south, I stopped keeping this spreadsheet, which was, I am sure, just one of the many stupid things I did in 2008.
OTOH, I did make a ton by accident in a different, more speculative account. The accident was a bit like Mrs. Packletide's Tiger (but without the incidental expenses). I'll describe that in my journal, where I suppose I should introduce my trading history a bit more fully.
How did you do it?Just kept adding to losing positions,averaging down , no stops?
How would it work out in the future , the same type of incidents kept repeating ?
