How they take your money from you.

Very simple:

Bribed news shouts at you that you need to sell everything when the market is down, and buy when everything has already risen.

A herd mentality, so to speak.

Be smarter - at the lows, there is always disbelief and fear.

At the highs - there is always euphoria and the feeling that this will last forever.

And what is the golden rule of the market?

Buy on fear - sell on euphoria.
