All of us at TI would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. This has been one wild year, and while I would like to add the word hope in the next sentence, I won't. what was the sentence? It was I hope the next few years will be better. Instead, I will say this? I know from a long-term perspective that things will be immensely better. The big players don't like to lose; they just love to make small folks like us lose hope. Once we lose hope, they come in and mop up.
Remember, not one man or woman alive can prove from a long-term perspective that any crash did not make for the perfect buying opportunity.
Fear and anxiety blind us, and being resolute in the face of a hurricane is easier said than done. Worse yet, the big players don't need to be tough; they already know the game plan. They don't have to deal with fear, anxiety, extreme panic, etc., because they know the end game.
The real heroes in this war are the astute players with the balls to see through this game plan. As the money supply increases, they can push indices lower or higher, making it look like TA or sentiment analysis does not matter, but what they cannot change is the long-term trend. Why? The answer is more than obvious because they want to win. They probably could alter some of those trends if they wanted to lose. At the end of the day, they want to make money, and if they screw the long-term trend, they kill the cash machine. Hence, their focus is on short-term timelines.
Once again, a Merry Christmas to all of you. Remember, the best things in life are free; we only realise this after we lose access to them.
And in our worst times, we have it infinitely better than the poor in the third world or the poor families caught up in this Ukraine-Russian war.
