Idiot Feedback Loop aka. Smash Crash From All Time Highs

Prechter was right about Social Mood. Brexit was the manic moment when they went ALL IN on global collapse...

"You buy everything you can"

How did we become a society of all-knowing dunces? People who think they know everything when in fact they know nothing. A week ago, dunces bought the recent highs on the premise of a "Remain" vote. When that collapsed, they immediately bought the "Brexit" and when stocks rallied they said it was a sign that Brexit has no impact on the world economy. Holy fuck...

""You try to buy everything you can...When the market was pushing on new highs the Thursday before the vote, everyone was betting on the market. The market might have been wrong about the vote, but they're not going to be wrong about the impact."

This is Elliott Wave Theory (Social Mood) in action - people buying stocks and then justifying the reason after the fact. Caught up in their own happy idiot feedback loop.
