Black swan flied by and I am still alive...

Fat stupid black swan flied by (more accurately, still here) and I, surprisingly, am still alive... Two things I keep telling myself:

1. Always ensure I still have enough ammo to give the damn swan a final shot. So hold my fire and be swift when going under;

2. Never fight against big guys. They can move the market but I can't. So it's nonsense if I am right in the end, but with a dead body. Wait the right time to ride on them.

Seems contradicted? Well, not. Timing and skill are important. Time for "Are you a qualified trader" test.
