You'll never be as good at this as a billionaire who can both bribe and wait indefinitely. Every crash since 2007 has made the working class poorer relative to billionaires.
As a whole sure. If you have cash to play the game though it's become very predictable. But if you have cash to play the game you're not really in the bottom tier of the working class. At this point there's sort of a second tier of the working class that used to be the "middle class"- owns a house, has a retirement account, a paid off car, probably some sort of emergency savings. These are the people still clinging to the American dream, and can win the game (but are effectively barred from the upper echelons of society still as is the rest of the working class).
