Now we are down to the real problem, when you say, "Perception creates reality." This is mostly true of religion, the arts, to some extent history, and to some extent polititical science. It is less and less true in economics, in medicine, in the natural sciences, and in mathematics. Unfortunately for those who would like to think otherwise, reality creates perception when it comes to material things, and the stock market is linked to material realities. Those who make a religion of the stock market are in a very bad way, and especially those who see the market as a beneficent deity. As an extension of the material world, the stock market is perfectly indifferent to investors. If you truly believe that perception creates reality, it would be best if you did not seek employment as, say, a mining engineer or a ski instructor. Advertising or theater would be a safer line of work.
