Is it just me, or is the world going fecking mad?
I tend to buy into the Efficient Market Hypothesis. The trouble is, the EMH relies on market participants acting rationally. And I ain't seeing a lot of that these days.
I was in the thick of the late-90s dotcom boom, and by heck what's happening now isn't half reminiscent of that. All you had to do was buy any old piece of crap, and you made money. But then the party ended...Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

There's $5.4 trillion more money in people's bank accounts than before the pandemic due to global money printing. That money is going to crypto, meme stocks, anything that might give a get rich quick outcome.Originally posted by DealorNoDeal View PostIs it just me, or is the world going fecking mad?

Yep, I knew plenty of people who rode dotcom all the way up and then gave it all back, and then some, on the way down. Price drops of over 90% were commonplace.Originally posted by jamesbrown View Post

I recall Scooty saying he lost big time in the early 2018 crypto bear market.
None of this is investing. Even the term speculation makes it sound too respectable. It's gambling, pure and simple. And, if you're going to gamble and you're not in control, then it won't end well.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
