    I was a kid for the dot com bubble. I was a teenager for the mortgage lending crash. Watched and learned what happened. When COVID caused another crash I knew what to do and how to make money from it. Another crash is just another opportunity to make money. Not as much as the rich assholes that cause all of this, but enough.

      Do that but let’s not pretend that is an option for the majority of the working class.

        See enough crashes and you can turn a few tens into hundreds, hundreds into thousands, etc. just do what you can afford. For the rich an economic crash is just an opportunity to buy everything for cheap. Line must go up, put down a few bucks and ride that line.

          When enough people catch on, they’ll change it up and you’ll be left holding the bag.

              The more you look into the stock market, the more you realize the values are made up with only a tenuous link to reality in order to cover up the glorified casino that it is.
