I am only talking about one thing - the market going up or down. That’s the entire reality. Expectations contribute to that, making them part of reality.

Forecasting that the market will drop 60% has a way of making that an expectation if enough people believe it, and then it happens, and the prediction comes true.

No, that's just another way of predicting the market. Which nobody can do.
