Timing markets, asset prices, house fluctuations ... funds and sectors.

GOLD is up about 6% this week, about 80% this year.

AI is over building. Everyone is going to have AI. When everyone's bucket list of knowledge is full, will AI still be in demand? Growing?

Ask AI to help you be more human. SexT AI is coming very soon. Pervert chats!!

Only sure short here is the US Dollar.

As for BDC and fund annual fees .... there are brokers that charge zero but market fees, a few pennies a trade. But you have to do it yourself. Pick the right 10 stocks and retire within 10 years. It's common to find companies going from $50 to $800 in 2-4 years. Leveraged ETFs make that even easier, often requiring less than half the capital. Of course if you're wrong, or fail to time things well, you could lose money. Theoretically you could lose everything.
