Well sure they've been waiting, because a 10 year bull cycle is unrealistic. So when the correction is finally manipulated by wall street, it's going to be that much bloodier. You know, just like the way wall street managed to manipulate BTC this week.

Tell that to every day trader and swing trader making a living on the planet. What you might have meant to say is that the average person cannot time the market.

Let's try to be truthful about the U.S. stock market. It's the biggest long term scam ever perpetuated, and it is currently being threatened by crypto currencies. Wall street will use its trillions of dollars to make sure they win, and everybody else loses.

As I previously mentioned, when a U.S. stock that loses money every year for decades, goes up 400% in two days.... it's completely normal, nothing to see here. But when a crypto moves like that... well, it can only be fraudulent. Right, wall street?

That's just my opinion, and nobody else's matters.

Perhaps context might help here. Can one time the top, and time the bottom of the market? Agreed no.

But if "academia" has decided that every day trader, swing trader, and options trader on the planet aren't "timing the stock market", then academia might want to cough up a reason why they're making billions doing just that.

Actually Jon, that would be real estate. But thanks for playing, don't forget to pick up your door prize on the way out.
