A couple of posters here, if one were to believe their unprovable/anonymous claims, are absolute geniuses and always seem to buy at the absolute lows - and sell at the absolute peaks.
Hmmmm, yeah...OK. LOL

That is not so. BIAS is sadly obvious. We should all be aware from experience, when you talk money most will not tell you the truth, most do not know the truth.
As stated in a previous post last year the S&P average of 500 stocks LOST 18.11%. I can HONESTLY state I lost less than that. It was also the first year in 15 that I lost money. I beat the S&P last year and I still lost more money than I will state.
