Buy low and sell during the next bubble?

This time, it feels like so many people are waiting for the crash to happen, it may not be as bad as last time.

I don’t mean over a decade. I mean making money off the crash event itself.

I'm sure I'm not reading the room well, but maybe don't seek to profit from an event that is ruinous to the wider world?

Better answer: read The Big Short.

Big short was short or more exactly bet on mortgages not on house values...
