"This world is subject to change and destruction from
moment to moment; it is like a river, a seed, a lamp,
wind, a cloud; like a monkey who is always restless,
like a fly who is ever in search of unclean things and
defiled places, like a fire which is never satisfied.
Again, thought is like a water-wheel or a machine:
it goes on rolling the wheel of transmigration, carrying
varieties of bodies and forms... causing the wooden
figures to move as a magician moves them."
... The Buddha (The Lankavatara Sutra)
Likewise, it is naive to believe that the stock markets
move purely according to natural economic forces of
supply and demand.
Please be warned, stock markets like defiled places,
are always manipulated by 'magicians.'
The most powerful manipulators are those with the
most money (the hot money from financial giants with
their resources and privileged information) that work
in concert to create bubbles and burst bubbles.
Here's a fact: The speculators and hedge fund managers
who run today's stock market need market volatility in
order to make money.
They can't make enough money if the market stays flat
or moves only within a narrow band, so they like extreme,
sudden and surprise price movements.
Their intention is to deplete the life long savings
of many a honest wage earner.
The law says, whatever goes up must come down
And whatever hits the bottom must rebound
To which the syndicates had perfected
Correct timing often means reading the syndicates'
moves to buy or sell
Heads they win, tails you lose.
Be prepared to ride the roller coaster and stomach it
