The volatility of the market makes for easy profits. Did an excercise on marketwatch in school one time. I traded random symbols that met my criteria and made a fat virtual profit. I kept it going after the experiment and realized the only reason I did well was because of the variability of that time for the market. I would kill to have some extra cash to invest right now/3 months ago, panicked laymen make investing easy.

Did this work for a relatively long term? The general sentiment is lots of strategies work during bull markets but then get crushed by volatility in bear markets since the drawdown tends to be higher
