From David Fabian: The notorious website Zerohedge has a thought-provoking tagline that reads: “On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”
There’s plenty of truth to that sentiment and drives the philosophical underpinnings of their news and/or investment opinions. I’m not promoting their outlook, but I will take my own thinking down a similar track and add that:
“On a long enough timeline, everyone is a trader.”
