Now noone has a crystal ball, but I wrote that on the 2nd. I did not know the cliff was on the 3rd or the 15th.

No matter how you slice it, in one month you would have beat 8 years of the snyder method. Just sayin.
Looking at the Dow, NASDAQ, and the S&P500, they all bottomed on or about October 3rd, but they had pretty much gotten to the bottom already. Hardly a cliff. Anyone who went from equities into cash then, fearing a "cliff", has locked in their losses.

TNA has had a good run since then, but that kind of investing isn't for the faint of heart.
