THE COUCH'S $10,000, DAY BY DAY, REAL DAILY DATA
The housing-boom bull market. Cheap money, houses used as cash machines, and a market that roughly doubled into the October 2007 peak. Calm on the surface the whole way up.
THE EXHIBIT: THE HOUSING-BOOM BULL MARKET. EVERYONE WHO PLAYED WAS THERE.
Nobody's filing for this day survived in the ledger. The window is real and the couch rode it all the same: it does not need an audience.

A win counts as SKILL only if it beats 90% of 1,000 monkeys replaying the same window with the same trade count and the same time in the market.
