I do. I've won big and lost big. Each party likes to claim success when the market goes up but hide when it tanks. This past year was a good example. We made some good money and then lost some. We saw a pretty good increase until the last few weeks and then lost several grand. It's not for the weak and you have to be in it for the long haul.

What I see for 2025? The same. My guess is you'll see some major increases in February and March. Near summer it will level off and maybe go down. (some stocks that is) Overall, more of the same.

I have a very cautious broker. He doesn't get too far out on a limb, and he always keeps me updated if he sees something that looks good, and we haven't tried before.
