The market is heading down and the convo is about doom and gloom. When the market is high and happy, people are bragging about how they made money on a stock in the last 6 months.
This is the reason people on Wall St take home 7 figures.
What main street needs to do is when the market is heading down brag about how you scooped up which shares that are oversold. And when the market is frothing at the top, bragging at the water cooler about which shares you bought 5 or 10 years ago when the market was tanking and how you are selling now and taking your profit without worrying if it goes higher.
Playing on main street's greed and fear is how Wall St makes its money. Market swings are how Wall St creates this opportunity. Without the swings you only get 10% of the potential opportunity to fleece main street.
