It appears that so many "elites" are making statements and publishing their financial moves (Bershire Hathaway admitting they're sittingon 400 billion in cash) in an effort to get retail customers (general public) to sell share or move their 401k accounts to cash (sell out) in order to get the market to crash. They have probably already shorted most everything and are hoping to make big bucks on the selloff.
It doesn't look like it's working. So many financial pundits are screaming we're going to have a crash that the roar is deafining. However, the markets are still holding up and will spike up today (per the futures). It makes everyone wonder what is going on. So, what is going on? The U.S. economy is somewhat fragile, money printing is at an extreme high, we facing massive inflation headwinds because of that and spiking oil prices. What is holding it all up? Who knows?
They are noticing, but someone is still holding. Markets way too high to support underlying economic numbers.
watch the movie "wallstreet".
But I do have a tiny percentage of my portfolio (Roth IRA) that I do some options trading. We'll see how that goes. For that, I do pay close attention to market news and try to determine the reality above the noise, at least as it pertains to the underlying stock/ETF value.
I don’t watch news any longer with the exception of FBC and Maria. She along with guests have been exactly the opposite of this to the point of being somewhat slavering.

Shorting the market should somehow be illegal.
It would have been nice to have gotten the correction out of the way when it was dropping daily. Then the talk would cease.
Try Tousi TV or Tousi on the web.
Part of the Lefty's plan to try and deny Donald Trump success at anything.
