Our economy cycles like a snake eating its own tail. The govt pushes up asset prices, through buying bonds and lowering rates, etc... then they sell out before the heights. Then the market tanks, then they buy in, accumulate, and again at the top, begin distribution. The best traders accumulate/ distribute on the same cycles.
It seems proper that we allow our money to take a natural course. But economists and Ben Bernankes of the world attempt too much control over the ebb and flow. You can't mess with 17 year cicadas or any animal that molts, you just let it shed the old skin, shell, form. Don't fuck with nature. Let it fly. Let it fall. Laissez-Faire, not Laser-Faire
Let the rivers flow, let the trees grow. You think this big planet is mindless and without a plan? Look at everything, it all has a purpose. And when you mess with it you get New Orleans flooding. But that's another post, the stupidity of humans. Stupidity is a force extremely powerful within some and sometimes many. Entertaining to watch what happens to them.
The problem is many people, and sometimes myself, have faith that people will naturally do the 'right' thing. But this is DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE! If you're aware of this you will make money in this market. If not you are a lamb and thank you for the wool and meat.
