Whatever it is, you should probably do the opposite.

How dare you speak ill of Capitalism, praise be. It is second only to Christianity as the world's most awesomest things.

Looks like it's about to get real. Get your house in order.

Is this the same advice?

I am not an investor, TM. I am a trader who also happens to be a pilot.

Investors buy and hold, which is a very antiquated way of making $$ in the 21st century now that computers and the internet give everyone the power of information that Wall St. once had a monopoly over.

Trading isn't hard, it just take know-how and practice. Like flying, anyone can learn how to do it. Like flying, anyone can advance to a very sophisticated and professional level.

Lemme give you an example: Prior to 1995 or so, no individual outside of a trading floor could see a chart like this. Today, anyone has access to them. You just need to know how to use them properly, just like an approach plate. It's a great way to make money when you have a lot of down time to study and research, like pilots have.





Unfortunately, I cut off the time indicators at the bottom of this chart. It goes back to Feb 2013.

SayAlt,

I was doing that for awhile. Had a few favorite stocks that had consitant volatility. But I switched fleets then they dried up sort of speak.... I have been more buy and hold as of late.

This isn't like any other time in history.

The banks themselves are telling you to get out. Japan is so desperate it's gone to NEGATIVE interests rates. Venezuela is already in it's unrecoverable death dive. The Chinese economy is imploding. The Fed is CLUELESS and has left itself with no policy options to speak of.

You can say all you want to say, but you can't say you haven't been warned.
Now I know where I remember you from, you are on that season finale of Doomsday Preppers.
Crazy how you got internet down in that bunker. Probably got two years of rations,15 machine guns and enough ammo to supply a small army.
