<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3877466, member: 112&quot;]He&#039;ll have to speak for himself; but just some observations from my point of view.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start with a question, do you know how and why &quot;old sayings&quot;, axioms, get to be axioms ? It&#039;s because they prove to be true so often.</p><p><br /></p><p>And given what&#039;s being discussed, particularly his 1st comment, there&#039;s a few that seem to be appropriate here, even if some are contradictory to another: </p><p>- never try to time the market</p><p>- never try to catch a falling knife</p><p>- buy low, sell high</p><p>- buy when there&#039;s blood in the streets</p><p><br /></p><p>All four of those make sense, all four of those seem to be valid reasons for doing what they suggest. All four of those are axioms - but yet contradictory to at least another. So how can that be the case ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Basically it&#039;s because 2 of those apply to one side of a coin and the other 2 apply to the other side - of the same coin. And just like with a coin that&#039;s flipped, you&#039;ve got pretty much an even chance of one or the other being right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you can throw things in like market support, human nature, basic economics, etc etc - all the things that go into market analysis - and still be wrong, or right, with your prediction. But that&#039;s the very nature of markets - it&#039;s always a gamble, it&#039;s always a coin flip, there is never any certainty.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 2nd part of his comment, I can offer some valid help with that. Ten years ago the average age of registered members on this forum was in the 50s. Today it&#039;s right around 30. And I base that on the fact that I see every member who registers on this forum, every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
