(31,805 posts)On election night in 2016 he said the markets would drop 50% and "never" recover. Anyone who followed his advice has lost a lot of money.
If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.

(31,805 posts)The Russians don't have the TRILLIONS -- NOT BILLIONS --that are necessary to move U.S. market prices. Where is the evidence of your conspiracy theory? Who buys and sells large stock buys that moves markets is very transparent and recorded and available for inspection.

Add them up and you have a market on steroids, but eventually will become sterile...
Your question is easily answered...they are called mutual funds...
But we all know that all markets are manipulated, you just want to be on the up or down side depending on your position...sorry, I also have a series 7..
