How can retail investors compete with the big players and exchanges? The data backend is crystal clear about when prices rise or fall, when spikes occur, and to what extent; it's all dictated by the big players and exchanges. There's no such thing as a natural market; just treat this as gambling and you'll be fine. In the end, it's all about taking big risks for small rewards, just betting on the right team. 😂 Honestly, seeing those in the plaza making daily market predictions makes me want to vomit; I don't know what there is to predict.
