Same thing with the stock market. Drive it up and down predictably (for those that know the timing) and fleece the sheep.

I'll never forget how I owned a stock that was going up very nicely. Near the top all the ANALysts were giving it a strong buy. I was loving it. Then some bad news came out followed by a 10% drop. "Invest for the long term!!!" Is the cry from money managers. It came back by about 5%, then some more bad news and another 10% drop. This repeated until it was down by 50%. Then then ANALysts finally started the downgrades and it dropped even more. So if a stock is a strong buy, that's the time to SELLLLLLLL!!!!!!
