52. Bigger fool theory.

Fri May 8, 2026, 07:36 AM

Friday

My thoughts on that -
There will be lots of fools in the market and they are a force to be contended with and fleeced. Hence, if I know when a fool jumps money falls from his pocket, I may be inclined to be in proximity to the fool when he jumps - grab his money - and make my getaway.

Smart money induces dumb money to take risks. It's why multi-level marketing schemes are successful.

Trump's social posts provide the enticement. Smart $ knows stupid money will react. Smart $ is in first and out first leaving the suckers holding the bag.

If most people learned not to throw their money away, carnies could never make a living.
