I agree with this. History told us something would happen that would not favor the little man...Saunder’s fkr example as well as Livermore’s getting fucked in his coffee trade during WWI.Any experienced trader would have predicted the reaction from the brokerages and profited nicely. The newbs just got their first lesson in a long list of lessons about trading.
this time was supposed to be “different” because of social media and I believed that it actually could have been. Times are a changin no doubt but to quote one of the 3 gods of trading: “There is nothing new in Wall Street. There can’t be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again.”
