When the going was ok, everybody was happy, many people claim to be expert in the trading in stock; a lot of analysis came up, gurus, even gods, including stock broken firms, and stock picking masters. But when the system clashed around 2008 they all disappeared.
What is your experience like during and after the boom of stock market? 

I think is when all the stocks and market is down that all stocks experts can come and tell, educate and advise us on how to go about it not when all is well.  Now many people I know whenever a stock exchange is mentioned they leave or suggest the discussion subject be changed. it really an unpleasant experience in most quarters.
