Two things drive markets: fear & greed. You can make money in a flat market, if you have a large portfolio, but volatility is where it's at. And here on earth, most things go down WAY faster than they go up. A bunch of ppls made windfall profits listening to ppl like the FAKE NEWS award winner. Those same ppl, and a few more that have paid attention, are waiting to do it again.
"You need to be brave when everyone else is afraid, and careful when everyone else is being brave" to paraphrase Warren Buffet. Look at a 5-day, a 3-month, and 5-yr charts. The sharp rise a year ago is unsustainable. Now drift right - the next peak is not higher. This is almost a head & shoulders, but not quite - and my favorite investment quote of all-time is the Goldman-Sachs Chinese analyst that cut off the Bloomberg twit with: "ha ha ha ha ha. charts say. ha ha. if charts always right, everybody be billionaire."
