Why do trend followers get so condescending and ANGRY? Can’t there be different styles for different investors? Is yours the only true path, at all times? Like any single piece of bearish evidence means “Oh, so you sold everything and went full port 0dte puts!” It’s so odd.

IMO the Wilt Chamberlain move (even if non-modal) is useful, because it clarifies that doing something extremely hard (being great at basketball) is distinct from working extremely hard (years and years of practice) which plenty of mediocre basketball players did too.
