Title: Buy when there's blood in the streets Post by: g___ on May 26, 2017, 02:45:54 PM "Buy when there's blood in the streets" - have you heard the quote?
Quote Baron Rothschild, an 18th-century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying that “the time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” He should know. Rothschild made a fortune buying in the panic that followed the Battle of Waterloo against Napoleon. But that’s not the whole story. The original quote is believed to be “Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.“ This is contrarian investing at its heart–the strongly held belief that the worse things seem in the market, the better the opportunities are for profit. https://www.forbes.com/2009/02/23/contrarian-markets-boeing-personal-finance_investopedia.html _______________ I bring this up, because many people here seem to lack a lot of real world investment knowledge (which is ok). We're a community, and I hope that others will chime in with what they know, so that we can all benefit. Some other basic things that experts always stress is to not let emotions get in the way, and most importantly, never invest more than you're willing to lose.

I like it when dirty foreigners' blood is soaking the pavement, those who gamble incessantly, and the suckers on this forum. Gives me a nice sense of pride. They don't know what to do with wealth anyway, no idea how to spend it properly. This is why the crypto dice sites are raking in so much cash. More for myself and the smart people.Title: Re: Buy when there's blood in the streets Post by: dissident on May 27, 2017, 12:17:24 AM you knew we were in a bubble when

Take moment when bleeding and wait while back green. Still risky and remain cautious. |
