Don’t take my word for this because I’m not an expert.
Yes, you’re correct about the big investors like Soros being able to move the market.
But if I understand correctly, Trump has seized the assets of a lot of these big players for exactly that reason. He’s preventing them from deliberately crashing the market and damaging the rest of us.
Yes, I think a small group really has that much power. Or more precisely “had”. I think no more. IMO the market has been a DS rigged game for a long time. Maybe it will be more “real” now.
Again, just my opinion. Also my opinion - I think we WILL see some market disruption, but I’m expecting it to even out.
Disclosure: After 9/11, my instincts said to sell and then buy back after the plummet. But I saw people saying it was unpatriotic to sell, that selling was “letting the terrorists win”. So I didn’t sell. I rode it out. I’m ok, but I would have been WAY better off if I’d sold. Was I patriotic or just suckered? Or both? IDK.
Ahh...but you know way more than me...puts you close to expert in my book! Thanks for the answer...that's been rolling around in my head for awhile.
I go dowen rabbit holes too, but I heavily censor myself here. Again, thankQ
