A young Warren Buffett discusses the historical accuracy of the stock market as a forecaster, noting its inconsistent performance. Over the past five years, despite stagnant corporate profits, stock prices have surged by approximately 50%. Buffett believes this could be a correction of a previous incorrect forecast. He also addresses the recent market decline, attributing it to forced selling due to margin calls and poorly secured bank loans, creating a downward self-generating mechanism.
