Fickle, clever, but that's the market isn't it. They're the ones that the dumb money is transferring their wealth to, they're the smart money. No point really questioning how they go about it, it takes lifetime to develop a system that works (mostly) consistently. A few here have it nailed, even if they think about it a bit too much, let alone talk about it incessantly. Bless them, it's what makes this place.
