From what I could gather, even the best investors are right 50% of the time. The rest are bag holders and gamblers, regardless of the market.
Pretty much. That is why it's called speculation, no one knows for sure what will happen. I find this subforum interesting nonetheless, because it is nice to get somewhat of an idea of the current market sentiment. Living (and dying) by the opinion of one (or even a few) experienced/knowledgeable trader(s) is stupid. You need to consider all of the information sources available to you, and then make your own informed decisions.
