There was actually a study on this, kind of lol. They had a chimpanzee pick a set of stocks by throwing darts at a board, and then professional stock brokers picked a set they thought would perform well. The chimpanzees stocks beat the professionals stocks. They did it twice that I’m aware of, both times a chimpanzee throwing darts beat the professionals.

Sorry jbyrd, if I want investment advice, I’ll ask a chimp before you lol

True story went to a casino in March playing black jack Got pulled from the table by a guy with an ear piece asking me how I was calling the dealer hole card NINE hands in a row! True story Still lost my butt because knowing whats coming doesn’t change your awful cards !!!!

X2.

Not many people even pay attention to the Dow. The S&P 500 index has a current historical volatility of 15.149. That means that the index value is expected to fluctuate one way or the other by 0.9468% each day for the next 30 days. It is currently up 0.98 %

Just about where the math says it should be

So wait, There is a dude with a superpower to predict the stock market? Why is he still on here arguing with peasants and not living on his own personal island yet?

Is there anyone who didn't predict this ?

Cryptocurrencies' worst nightmare is coming to fruition: much higher interest rates to compete with risk assets, more government regulation debunking its original claim of being unregulated, and the argument that cryptos were an inflation hedge has been shattered. It's also impossible to argue a case for Cryptos as a store of value when Bitcoin went from 68 thousand dollars down to around 30 thousand recently. Cryptos are speculative risk assets as they are proving now by moving in lockstep with other risk assets. Crypto bulls try to associate crypto with Blockchain. The latter has a function while the former adheres to the "greater fool" theory of hoping others pay more for it than you did.

All you guys need to know is that jbyrd is the best when it comes to predicting stocks, football games, hippie electric bikes, turkey hunting, deer hunting, hanging deer stands, basically anything he decides to do he is instantly the best in the world.

He's so humble it took me years to figure this out, but I finally did

The real bet will be how many exclamation points he will include in his response.....!!!!


Gotta live up to the nickname...

I AGREE white but as I said earlier when I posted this I was told I was nuts. Remember the cali guy set me straight that it was going to reach NEARLY 100,000 by I'm guess he said june of this year ? That he had jumped on the down hiccup right before it was going to sky rocket. Wonder why he hasn't mouthed off on this thread.

Someone predicts volatility in the markets and think they are genius? Imagine that

Ken, this current drop in Bitcoin isn't it's biggest percentage wise. You and I both know percentages are the only thing that matters. Probably not in the top three. It dropped something like 85 percent from it's high of 19,xxx in 2017. If it drops that from it's high of 69,xxx we will be looking at somewhere just north of 10,000. South of 20, I'm buying.

As far as government regulations, they better be careful. Gresham's law might take effect. I'm not hoping others pay more for it than I did, I'm hoping someday we will go back to a sound money principal, I'd prefer a gold standard. For me BYC is a game if you will, it won't surprise me if it goes to zero and I'll be equally surprised if it goes north of 250k or equivalent. The thing is if it does 250k won't buy what it once did lol.

As far as the Kentucky wonders prediction, I said I expected it to go below 30k and most likely 25 before the next leg up. I also have said that I expect silver to break below the 20 dollar barrier, it's getting close.

YTD the s&p is down roughly 17 percent, I wonder how much BTC is down since Jan 1.....

Has the FED been stimulating BTC same as traditional markets?

When a thread has 1133 views that is a pretty big number of readers. And when everyone that took time to post thinks you’re arrogant and obnoxious you might want to take a step back and wake up at some point in your life? But nooooo in his own little world he’s brilliant.

In an indirect way I think they have. All that stimulus sloshing around while everyone was living in the basement I believe added immensely to the meme stock debacle and to the bitcoin craze.

Although I don't think that was the Fed's intention.

That would be a small part of it at best. It was trading around 9k and was pretty flat for months afterwards. It was already to 20k after the second then the Biden stimulus it was almost 50k. Unemployment checks was a biggef factor methinks because they were overgenerous.

The FED purchased billions of corporate debt and MBS.


The payroll protection program was basically a corporate bail out.

The unemployment and stimulus money to the people was peanuts compared to that.
