When times are good the crowd is happy and fully invested. But it gets to as point where everyone who wants to buy has. This leaves the market vulnerable to bad news because there is no one left to buy. Similarly, after a sharp fall the crowd gets negative, sells their investments to the point that everyone who wants to sell has and so the market sets up for a rally when some good, or less bad news, comes along. So the point of maximum risk is when most are euphoric, and the point of maximum opportunity is when most are pessimistic. But for many investors trying to sell when the market is booming and all around you are euphoric is tough. As is trying to buy after the market has crashed and everyone is pessimistic.

My favourite quote on Investment Predictions...
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day".

The way to wealth for those in the business is to persuade their clients, 'Don't just stand there. Do something".
But the way to wealth for their clients is to follow the opposite maxim:
"DON'T DO SOMETHING. JUST STAND THERE"
