” There is only one side of the market and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side.” – Jesse Livermore

  1. Be a bear in a bull market.

  2. Keep shorting a bull market and see what happens. LOSSES.

  3. Wait for a deep pull back that never comes as the market goes higher and higher each day. Then chase at the end of the move.

  4. Buy puts and sell them for a loss over and over.

  5. Keep betting on a market meltdown as the indexes make all time highs over and over again.

  6. Buy $VXX  $TVIX and $UVXY and see what happens. LOSSES.

  7. If your trading plan is the “the market just can’t go higher” you’re going to have a bad time.

  8. Short in the hole right at resistance. The bounces are brutal.

  9. Have a bearish opinion, keep a bearish opinion, trade a bearish opinion.

  10. Being a stubborn perma-bull instead of a flexible trader.
