Yeah, if only we knew in advance. We could be really rich with that kind of info. It's kind of odd thinking about what may become down the road. Thinking back 20 years ago would be about 2006 in hindsight. Little did we know what was to become just a year or so after that. Still amazed where we are today in comparison. Looking forward 20 years. Probably look back then and wonder the same about some of it. Time is a funny thing to reflect on. I'll take a wild guess and bet that you will be significantly wealthier by then despite all that you may have to endure to get there.
I don't necessarily disagree with the ever-present availability of the noise. It can certainly be very loud. I don't disagree that a lot of it is BS and pointless, especially to long-term investors. I just don't think it is going to permanently disrupt our ability as long-term investors to make and get long term wealth. We will go on at some point, whenever that may be, and get some great returns. Will we still complain that it is BS and manipulation?? Does this only occur during corrections and bears?? Or are we going to say, well the market has just come to its senses. I'm not trying to be a smart aleck, so please don't receive it as such. I respect your opinion. We just have a difference here and that is perfectly okay.
