Crises and Traders

During crises, market fluctuation and trade volume increase, and therefore
we, the traders, flourish at such times! Unlike the majority of the public, we

also know how to profit from drops: further on we will study the principles
of shorting. The first crisis I experienced as a trader was the Dot-Com Crash
of 2000 to 2002. Unfortunately, as a novice trader, I was insufficiently

experienced to benefit from the events, but I did benefit from the rises that
followed. The Sub-Prime Crisis, by comparison, was a real celebration. In
October 2008, I tripled my trading account in one month alone!
