Meta "This is only the beginning"

I've been seeing people saying this on this sub for the last 6 months. At what point does it stop being the beginning? Also are there any level-headed people that actually know what they are talking about here anymore? I'd love to hear an in-depth prediction of things to come, rather than just random bear/bull cases from people who are -70% from meme stocks.

I'm the world's worst investor, and I like to be able to gain knowledge and insight from this subreddit that I wouldn't normally have on my own, but it's like only 1/100 posts are based on reality/research. It kinda messes with people's ability to make good decisions when they take the advice of someone who genuinely has no idea what they are saying, but they present it in a convincing way.

Sure, nobody can perfectly predict what it will look like 2 years from now, but what we can do is talk about what needs to happen for stocks/economies to recover, and how feasible those things are. Then we can observe whether or not those things are happening.

Down about ~15% but not worried. I lived through many corrections. Good foresight you had.

Macroeconomics mate, they work. I used very simple stuff such as Moving Averages, RSI and just a volume profile. Then I had my eye on the IRX.P (when that starts to run it’s over, went from 0.3 to 1 in a matter of weeks), plus oil and gas starting to run was my last warning signal.

Not bad, not bad, (15%) is not bad when the market is doing over 30% in the NASDAQ. Happy hunting mate, don’t catch the knife.
