Is there such a thing? My dumb-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Is there such a thing? My dumbest move is my smartest move and vice verse? [Facepalm] [LOL] [Tongue] It's somehow true. I wrote about it in another topic.

Why is the move dumb? I simply follow what ARK does, just the opposite direction. It's a no-brainer. Whenever aunt Cathie sells, I positioned myself to buy. She buys, I plan to sell. It obviously works for$Archer Aviation Inc.(ACHR)$ when I made close to 200% in a day.

It works not as effectively for Tesla though. It should have worked too but my Call option was too short dated and ran out of time to benefit from the subsequent price explosion 💥 that my charts had foretold.

Ahhh... that brings me to the smartest part of the whole scheme. I don't do those trades blindly. I have incorporated the charts in wait for opportunities (from aunt Cathie [Chuckle] [Evil] ). Yup, ARK is the final trigger for those trades.

I should have looked at $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ too! A pity this is not in my target window. Otherwise I would also have ridden on her sell trade for a handsome profit!

Yup, those are dumb and no-brainer trades, but who says they can't be our smartest trading way yet? [Silence] [Sly] [Duh] [Tongue] [Miser] [Cool] @Tiger_comments @Daily_Discussion @TigerStars @CaptainTiger

What's Your Smartest or Dumbest Way You Made Money in Stocks?

Everyone talks about DD and technicals, but sometimes it's pure luck, gut feeling, or just straight-up insanity. So what's your most unexpected W in the market? YOLOs that worked, memes that printed, or trades that made zero sense but somehow paid off—drop them below. Let's see who got lucky and who was just built different.

Haha love this strategy — reverse Cathie trades + charts = galaxy brain move 🤯🚀! Honestly, if it works, it works! ACHR was a wild ride and you timed it beautifully. Sometimes the “dumb” ideas turn out to be the smartest after all 😆📈

  I have been studying Cathie Wood’s investment strategy since her rise to prominence. It feels kind of weird how those companies stock prices will rise after ARK sells. It kept repeating itself so I have decided to follow her trades closer by subscribing to her trades using 🐯 [Tongue][Evil]

  Hee… thanks! 🙏 Just for the fun of the post, but that’s me, not afraid to explore different options in trading. Good or bad, adjust accordingly. This ARK trick definitely earns its place in my trading strategy. [Tongue][LOL][Chuckle][Evil]
