It has been interesting watching investors make decisions based on forecasts made by people who literally consume corporate excrement media as if it was even remotely-accurate.
The legacy stupid media has been wrong about so many things, and is used by the upper tier financiers to manipulate the upper class (way low compared to ruling class) to divest at times of opportunity for the ruling, and buy at times that benefit the ruling.
The fundamentals are rarely understood by the “upper class”, so they get used and abused as a normal part of the brokerage and media cycles of information manipulation.
Most of the “gurus” consume the corporate media excrement and base their forecasts on those assumptions, which is almost hilarious to watch. They aren’t familiar with things that governments and corporations can or can’t do, but instead talk about political philosophy and government initiatives. Look at how Net Zero worked out for Spain and Portugal, for example.
Look at how modernizing military industrial capacity is working out for Europe. These guys think modern technology can just be ordered off a shelf somewhere, after their parliaments treated defense like the enemy for the past 40-70 years in most cases. Their fighters are still powered by 16,900-22,200lb thrust class turbofan designs from the 1980s. They haven’t even moved up to US 1970s class turbofans, let alone what we did in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and what we’re doing now with 43,000-47,000lb+ class motors with variable 3-airstream paths and stealth features.
Demand for US aerospace and exclusive industries is only increasing. The US remains the #1 destination for Direct Foreign Investments for 13 years straight, but the talking heads are running their mouths about detachment from the US, even as the UK and Germany double-down on their multi-billion orders from the US.
There are tiers of market knowledge, and the top tier is exclusive to only a few people.

Access to exclusive tier ruling class economic data is priced out of reach for the common upper class investor. Why would the ruling class jeopardize their liquidity when they can just scare or con upper class investors into financing their runs and pick-up games?
But opportunity is always available to anyone you just have make a judgement and accept the risk. Yes the insiders have the edge, the know the laws government is going to pass ahead of time, contracts government is going to sign ahead of time, options to buy before the fact, but trends are available to the little guy if you don’t let the short term spook you.
I agree but it is what it is and I don't see a way out of fighting inflation otherwise.
In my case I'm too old to do the physical labor I used to do in my career and I'd rather die than be a walmart greeter or similar.
To me increasing ones wealth is like going surfing, like when one wishes to time and ride the best waves they can.
Investing - one rarely gets in at the perfect time and out at the perfect time but trading techniques can be learned which increases the chance of catching the waves right.
If the ocean is calm then you are just sitting on your board, but normally there are some waves, and sometimes big waves, and if a Tsunami happens we're all SOL anyway.
Raising my hands as that little guy.
When I was young I was a "put all my eggs in one basket" person and I learned the hard way that baskets can fall over so I keep my eggs in different baskets to avert some risk. And unfortunately I don't have much time left to go "long term" at this point.
I guess I'll make some money or I won't but at least I tried.
