>why do you want to be a swing trader
because it allows me to invest while being somewhat active with my portfolio. I'm a grad student so I don't have time to really check my holdings everyday

If you plan on investing for anything longer than 3 years then don't bother waiting on corrections to invest.

Look up dollar cost averaging and you will see you just end up missing out on huge growth potential because you stop investing for what can be long periods of inactive time during bull or bear markets.

Slow and steady "consistent" purchases are what investors should shoot for. If you wait for market corrections or only buy when at their lowest point you become a trader instead of an investor, which you claim you don't have time for.

Cucks drooling over some fake story of a trader on 4chin and asking for advice on how to employ life savings.

Get a grip you fucking faggots. You are investing YOUR money. Do YOUR own research. Find a method that makes sense to YOU.

If you think "traders" that work for institutions know shit you definitely have NO clue. Plus, being a "trader" literally means "to place orders decided by others, usually portfolio managers + clients". Any trader making big money is because they had the good fortune of getting a few wealthy clients and are getting rich via commission. They hold no crystal ball and don't know more about the market than the usual fuckwit from the street.

TL;DR. Get a grip. Find a method that makes sense to you. Don't believe all the hype. No one has all the answers.

God it does smell like cuck in here. Fuck me.
