Spoken excerpt from a YouTube video ("Why Your Emotions Are Killing Your Portfolio") where Speaker A argues that most traders who were long the market have been forced out ("Probably 99 of people who were long are no longer in the market"). The speaker emphasizes the importance of this point for understanding market cycle and bubble behavior, and contends that denying cycle/bubble dynamics would imply markets no longer exhibit large dips or pumps. The clip focuses on trader attrition, debate over whether the cycle is over, and the persistence of large price moves.

Probably 99 of people who were long are no longer in the market. So. Oh, yeah, that really needs to be stressed, because I think people don't realize the importance of that. You know, mostly on these moves, these traders get taken out. And I guess coming back to the cycle behavior and the bubbles, I mean, the more I think about it, I just find it hard to believe that, you know, because I guess a lot of people on X now talking about the cycle either being over or the cycle being in. I mean, people can't make up their minds. Right. And the thing is, I guess where I keep coming back to is that for the cycle theory and bubble theory to be dead, that means that we're going to no longer see big dips in price or big pumps in price.
