Content Data

This page contains data entry 5324 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

The long term history of the stock market is not due to chance or randomness. We were not merely “lucky” in any sense. It is not true that anyone who invests in the market, especially indices, gets “lucky”. The long term trend of up is completely explainable and has a very simple cause.

The cause is that most people don’t sell. It’s just not an activity that most market participants do. More importantly, there are many people who invest into the market in stages or in a variety of different stocks. Some of them systematize this by buying a portion of their salary in regular periods. There’s even a strategy called DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) where people buy a certain amount of their favorite stock or crypto every single day. This is very common in Bitcoin for example which is another thing that continues to go up long term. There is rarely ever an equivalent of a DSA (Dollar Sell Averaging) because most people simply do not sell things day to day.

So on any given day, unless there is some sort of impending news or a sudden reason that can cause panic, most sell volume is simply bots. People are not regularly selling stocks every day. It is simply **not** a thing. Now, of course, most buy volume is also bots but it is unquestionably true that there are many, if not **exponentially**, more “real” buyers than sellers on any given day. This is why all crashes, whether they last days, weeks, months, or even years, eventually get bought up

Pointing out how a few crappy companies have always went down long term doesn’t invalidate any of this. The main reason that happens is not because people are selling that stock every day. As I mentioned, this is not a thing. It’s because there is no reason left for people to buy because the company is crappy.
