According to the "2021 PP Returns" topic, the votes and replies should be more related to PP
Otherwise this poll is more "2021 Returns" for VP domain.

Technically, sure. Maybe a poll on do you follow the PP exactly or have some tweaks.

It's more important to me to stay with the allocation and not churn from one investing mode to another, perpetually being on the wrong side!

As is my history, everything sold today continued way up, everything bought, way down.

This. Is. Why. I. Don't. Trade.

My 2021 data point. I'm a traditionalist, 4x25.

Inflation: 6.81%
Real return: -1.67%

Damn that inflation!

Ooh, and at least for a couple days, I look like a friggin genius by selling stocks to rebalance.

Of course gold and silver got slammed too, but my covered calls on them at least will expire worthless!
