mebaseball, do you think 20 years is a long time in the grand scheme of things? Do you think that if you were a trader in the 1920's that you would have survived and come out on top by the 1930's? Do you think it's possible that from 1987 to 2007 that the markets have been coincidentally stable (thanks to the federal reserve for bailing us out of the NASDAQ crash of 2001) and that you are just lucky to be in the situation you are in at the time you are in? Is it possible that a serious economic downswing could ruin you or are you hedged against such a tragedy?
