Look—people predict stock market crashes all the time. Most of them are wrong.
For every Robert Shiller or Michael Burry, there’s a hundred wannabe prophets waiting for the sky to fall.
Think about the past few years: Evergrande. Inflation. Tariffs. Every headline screamed *collapse.* And yet the market went vertical. Anyone who pulled their money out missed the run of a lifetime.
And if these doomsayers *knew* a crash was coming, why didn’t they get rich shorting it? Because shorting the market isn’t wisdom—it’s panic disguised as insight. One bad tick and you’re gone.
So yeah—plan for disaster. But plan for success too. Because if all you ever expect is pain, you’ll build your own apocalypse right in the middle of a boom.
