During the boom times a smart man will prepare for the inevitable doom times.
A man begins his preparations not during the crises; he begins his prep-work the moment those bad times are over and the good times begin.
During this time when you are preparing, the economy and the stock market will be roaring. You've grabbed the bull market by the horns, however, that bull's roar will eventually turn into that of a bear's growl.
People will be spending their money like crazy; buying the latest clothes, electronic device, newest smart phone, gadgets and what ever else a normie will blow the money the don't have on.
This is the time of mass consumption on the part of the normie. This means credit cards are flying out of wallets, debt loads are being racked-up on the promise of low interest rates and on the hope/ignorance that the sun will always be shinning.
It's all good, right? The economy is flourishing!
So, what are you doing?
You aren't being this stupid, that is for sure.

Good, because we are in the midst of a global recession and now is the time to be greedy.
Buy when there is blood in the streets.
