LOL, you give them WAY to much credit. As I said, you play short, why go long when the world is in turmoil? The standard of living keeps going up. More taxes, more subsidizing and so... you can drink the kool-aid and cop out saying that they will always win, when half of these men work out of a box. They act like since they know how to file a disclosure statement, that they are all of a sudden corporate. Oh boy, a wordpress website, ohh wow. Or maybe a joomla site, ohhh aahhh. Yet, you can google their address and it's a bogus address, this or that.
So you know the game, why would you buy in a down turn? You short it. When it begins to ride, you buy at a dip, hold for a day and sell on the run. If it goes no where, ok lick your wounds and take a slight loss. But waiting for the pie in the sky, you're better off playing lottery tickets.
Stock is 98% following and 2% pulling the trigger. 1% to buy and 1% to sell. If you're wasting any more than that, you're doing it wrong. You'll never find a gem anymore as it's all monopolized. Like check this, Kroger? They sell gas, is that a coincidence? No they are owned by Shell.
You can't make this stuff up, they make money because people are naive and hope for the big pay off. Wealth doesn't accumulate over night.
