I guess he's just a moron market timer who should be fully invested at all times.
To be clear, are you saying that Warren Buffett is a market timer like you?

OP took a short vacation. Unfortunately, he won't be able to make it back until one of the indices closes down for a day, or even during the after hours.

This line if thinking is also why people far underperform the market also.

Lots of downvotes from people who don't even understand the theory behind their "investment strategy"

I’ve been an investment advisor for over a decade. You don’t think I understand my strategy?

So you don't think it's wise to pull out of a 3x ETF that is up 2.5 times in the past 6 months when there is a very good chance it would have a bad day at earnings when you are a trader and not an investor?

Serious question as a lot of people consider TQQQ to be a day trading ETF versus something to buy and hold although a lot of people do. (I do currently)

Yes I do. But when I responded to you you just said pulling out of your fund and locking in gains. You are being obtuse because you never said it was a day trading fund. You just said your fund. Should you just sit on it? No. Should be in Bull triples? Maybe not.

I have no clue what you’re advising your clients but if it’s only been ten years I’d guess you’re well versed in sell side dogma

I'm not the OP so don't be calling me out but if you read the thread versus just the first post you will see it was for TQQQ that he got in at 16 and was at 44.
