The lessons of bear markets have not been forgotten. They're just reflected in the state of the economy meaning, in times of euphoria with record high stock prices, investors tend to have funds for investing. Why is that not a surprise? Hindsight thinking says one should sell at record highs and buy at record lows. Yes the layman person gets that but that's not what happens. In major recessions or depressions, there is simply no $ around for those to invest. If unemployment is at 20 or 30%, that's a fair amount of workforce that won't have the $ to invest. I mean you can't blame people for not having $ to start buying at times when they should. This is no different to the managed funds that make similar claims telling people their managed fund is top performing when their inflows of cash are directly tied to the # of those that contribute on a regular basis.

I use to follow a lot of Zerohedge reporting but their quality shifted towards more sensationalism than being factual. Listen to someone more credible here with Ray Dalio doing a TED discussion online on the impact of the COVID19: (and not some fluff from NZ based websites)
