What would you do if you could predict the market?
I like to daydream sometimes and imagine I could predict the market (don't we all?). I'd like to know what would you realistically do/what would realistically happen if you had this ability.
Would you tell anyone? Would you fuck with people? Would you start your own hedge fund or manage other people's money? Would you quit your job and start trading your own money until you're a billionaire? Would you get famous for this "gift"? Would you start some b.s. trading course lol? What would you trade for maximum returns? Also, I imagine the SEC would not like this if they found out...how would you avoid them finding out?
Well if you're returning 1,000% a year they're gonna be suspicious, but on the other hand if they can't prove you're doing anything wrong can they really do much? Has anyone in history every been prohibited/restricted from trading because they were doing too well (this is a serious question, although I'm fairly confident the answer is no). Assuming the SEC won't find me guilty of anything the correct answer is to set up many hedge funds that appear totally unrelated to not seem suspicious, convince other hedge funds through careful manipulation (having employees of mine on the inside) the opposite of what will happen so over time they transfer wealth to my funds (I'll have a couple losing to avoid attention), and then I would amass billions of dollars in fortune, eventually keeping 200 million for myself and giving the rest to charity. It would be a long process and I would have to make sure they don't lose too much and go out of business, but over a timespan of 20-30 years I would make and donate so much
