Every day the news is the same blockbuster headline:
“So-and-so buys 1 million shares!” 🚨
Five minutes later:
“So-and-so sells 1 million shares!” 🚨
Wow. Groundbreaking journalism. Truly Nobel-Prize level analysis.
Let me say this for the one-million-and-first time: the stock market is a zero-sum trade at the transaction level. If someone buys 1 million shares, guess what miracle must occur?
A person and or a group of people just sold 1 million shares. 🤯
So the real question isn’t “Who bought or sold?”
The real question is which side is the bigger goondu.
But the financial news will write it like that:
“Genius billionaire buys 1M shares!”
“Unknown peasants dump 1M shares!”
Reality check:
It might just as easily be:
“Retail panic sells.”
“Some hedge fund intern accidentally presses BUY.”
Bottom line:
Stop worshipping every headline about who bought or sold what. These people are not prophets descending from Wall Street heaven.
Follow your own direction.
Because at the end of the day, if the trade goes wrong, the billionaire will still be rich…
…and we will only have ourselves to blame. 😄📉
