if you slightly alter the point of view you might see it like "the global economy", whoever represents that behind the screens in hi towers, is always looking for potential black-swan events (as you call it here) , for the simple reason that you can't make money with money if it stays up or it stays down , sideways is nice for HFT-algorithms but big money likes big chunks ... you can't really manipulate a trillions market like your proverbial dollar there (which for some reason seems to be 'the world currency' in a way and manner of speaking) but you can play the masses mind , and everything below you if you are the one on top.

In that aspect it works a lot like smallcap like lets say all of planet Crypton (lol) - you exagerrate here, and remove a bit there and before you know it ...

i think it was warren buffet who wrote a book on real estate or maybe wait no

(its all one soup in my head) comes down to something like

*Invest in property NOW!* *(or forever live with your regrets)*

Invest when fear, doubt and uncertainty grip the mind of the crowd
Sell when wild hopes and speculative fever burn away reason

and then some, it says to be accredited to Warren Buffet (one of mister Suns good friends i hear hahah) but i cant be sure of that , fact is it is fact

black swan events are huge money makers, you can't have trade if you cant buy low :)
