You know, this "soon collapse is coming" has been said since 2019.

In my opinion, the fear of collapse is exactly what they want you to feel, so you don't make any money from the dystopian build-out.

But they are making money on it. Oh yes. Stocks go up because huge investment bankers are buying all the stocks they are telling you to be afraid of in the news.

You can sit and have no stocks and lose no money if you want, but you are betting on a crash that you are being told will happen "soon".. :) We will see. Chances are, you miss making a lot of money on this and afterwards, you will feel a bit sad you missed it.
