5. The headline while true might mislead people, yes Mark said the bubble is set to pop, he didn't said it will pop soon, in fact he said it will pop "Eventually" and he has no idea when it will pop. And this is why he thinks copying his strategy is useless unless if you are retail investor.

Professional prognosticators know that for predictions about future events, you should either be specific about the event but vague about the timing, or the other way around. That way you'll often be right and be hailed as a prophet. If you predict something specific to happen at a specific time, you'll usually be wrong and look like a fool.
