I predict that the S&P 500 will be well under 5,000 by September 30th

hah hah

The vibes I just got are from a dude that knows a long haired redheaded dude. And a short one, too.
Both are technically Canadian.
Things are seeming kinda Gray at the moment.
I make not too many assumptions online.
What I'm wondering is an age. Gotta be over 60.

Both customers and casinos are making bets.

Before you go any further, you are wandering into a standard rationalization error. Risk ≠ Gambling, but you tell yourself that it does.

You have a gambling problem, it's just not based in a casino. Every time you lose, you try to rationalize it to yourself by asserting that "everyone takes risks." It is not the case that everyone gambles. Gambling reduces it down to random chance for which you have no control and cannot avail yourself of any information, or worse, for which it is entirely rigged against you.

This is otherwise not the case for traders who perform due dilligence in research and buy where they have a rational basis for expecting an increase in price (or sell where they have a rational basis for expecting a decrease in price). There is risk, but the trade is not based solely on random chance.
You do not avail yourself of available information. Your TDS governs your gambling impulse. As was pointed out to you long ago, there was no reason for you to expect anything other than record highs in the markets based on information that was readily available, yet you allowed your irrational HATRED for Donald Trump to override all verifiable information and to panic with fear ... as ordered by the DNC.

One group will win overall,

Traders, yes.

and one will lose overall.

Gamblers, yes.

Do you know why there is that division?

See above.

the market is too big to fail. that's fascism for you.

We're back to this again.

A government administrator bought two boxes of black toner from Staples using a blanket purchase agreement. That's fascism for you.

A contracting firm wins a government contract to administer a nationwide network. That's fascism for you.

A farmer's chickens peck for seeds on Federal land. That's fascism for you.

Breaking News - This just in: Everything has been declared to be fascism, enabling consumers to receive all applicable discounts on everything.

free markets don't exist.

Sure they do. They're typically called "black markets". Have you ever heard of them? They were recently declared to be "Fascism."

insider trading and insider knowledge for timing is what big players are into.

That used to fall under the category of "insider trading" which is illegal, and has since been declared to be fascism along with everything else.
