A powerful force is at work to transfer your wealth to others. Something far more pernicious and dangerous to your financial health than the "cartel" or other boogie men. It is called "the market" and simply put, its job is to get you wrong! If that doesn't quite hang in a literary sense, think of all the ways you can be wrong. You can be short in a rally, long in a sell off, sitting on the sidelines in a blowoff move, underweight or overweight, early or late. All of these positions are just plain wrong.
