It was a good call because, unlike most financial “experts” she predicted that the housing market would take the stock market with it, and that the declines would be severe.
Personally, I think “leaving money on the table” is the very best strategy, because you’re more likely to avoid the losses as well. Only fools try to chase the last dollar, and they have to compete with all the sheeple as they stampede for the exits.
IMHO, it’s always best to make money during the beginning stages of a bull market, then sell into the strength of the late-mid to early final stages of the bull run.
