Capital flight and quantitative easing causes the stock prices to go up during economic crashes. How do you plan to capitalize on this the next time it happens?
Quantatitive easing is when the gobernment, following a crash, creates hundreds of billions of dollars out of nothing and then uses it all to buy stocks and bonds at an inflated price. If you bought stocks before the crash then you're guaranteed to be able to make a profit by selling it to the gobernment at an inflated price
