Would that be after the crash or before the crash?  Because after the crash means you have lost your money.  And you will lock in your losses by selling after a crash.  Before the crash means you have successfully predicted a market crash, which is pretty impossible.  And selling during a crash is also pretty impossible, because everyone is selling and no one is buying.

A ton of people timed the market with this latest short squeeze fiasco. It seems like HURRICANE has been doing this type of thing for awhile, so I am confident he has managed to make some money. I also assume he questions if it is all worth it when he files his taxes every year.

capital gains don't get assessed in fidelity 401k brokerage link funds.  it's like putting your $$ in the 2035 account, only you have full control where your investments go.  I'll get the standard tax when I withdrawal after retirement but I'll limit such withdrawals so i don't go over the 12% tax bracket.

Anyway, switching gears ..... CNBC has been emphasizing the major shortage in the semiconductor field (e.g. NVDA, AMD, TSM, LRCX, INTC, others)  ..... also took a flyer on JNJ as their 1-shot vaccine (awaiting approval) seems to be global as you can store it in regular refrigerator temperatures which will be advantageous when vaccinating the population in 3rd world countries on the continents of Africa, India, and Asia
