That too is a possibility. The problem with that one has always been "timing the market" The really rich are the ones that have banks of computers that just take a little bit here and a little bit there. These are also the ones who really hate the thought of a tax on trades as they do, literally, a million+ every day. This system also doesn't care what the market is doing as they can automatically go both ways and are, for the most part doing it free as they either own a chair or part of a chair.
