– The Market Is Too Crazy For Me So I’ve Gone To Cash Over the years I’ve called every crash, from stocks to crypto. I sell the top and buy the bottom. So I’m calling another crash. Over the years I’ve called every crash, from stocks to crypto. I sell the top and buy the bottom. It sounds like a lie, but it’s all on here on Forbes, where I’ve been writing for more than 20 years. So I’m calling another crash. I’m not certain, but I’m not prepared to wait and find out I was right. I’m happy to be wrong and be safe. I'm out. Out of everything. I don't care whether the market or any favorite stock is going to go to the moon at some point. I don't care whether it's copper and there's supposedly not enough of it forever. I'm out, gone, completely in cash. This market is madness and it's completely unpredictable. Well, actually, no – it's starting to feel very predictable. When I look at the chart, what I see is that the American markets are no longer on their trend – or rather they are on a new trend, and the trend is down:That looks like the beginning of an almighty crash to me.If it doesn't crash, it will be because of some jiggery-pokery by the Fed or the Treasury, and you can't predict that, and I’m not going to rely on it.When it has blown over, I will take my winnings and reenter. I was on this liner and there is this iceberg, so I not going to sit near a lifeboat – I’m going climb in until it’s behind us. And if I look a fool, so be it.Well, the only thing that's going to save it is some kind of automagic.I don't care whether I sold great companies. I don't care whether the future is AI. I don't care about that at all. All I care about now is capital preservation. Inflation might gnaw at it for a bit, but I’m not letting U.S. vs Iran run it through the shredder. The reason this market is so volatile is it's “risk off, risk on, money out, money in” dynamics based on what Trump tweets, and trying to follow it is simply dicing with financial catastrophe.This might be a crash or a proper bear market. A bear market is so foreign to this modern reality that people don’t even know what it is. It’s not a market that has fallen a lot – it’s a market that is trending down long term. Until the Middle East situation is settled , we could well be in a bear market for an extended period. I won't stop here just because I'm all cashed out. Getting back in at the right moment is going to be a big opportunity to make great returns.
