OK, fine. During the pandemic, I picked up and studied trading, and made more money doing that than my actual job (assistant teacher at a university).

I know the next step I'm going to take.

Everyone in the market made money last year. Did you at least outperform the S&P?

S&P gained 16.26% in 2020, roughly 3x average annual gains.

Everyone makes money in a rising market.
Difference is, I play both sides, while retail only knows "buy buy buy" when the prices were rising.
