yep… the stock market is just gambling and the only consistent winners are “the house”… and when they lose they have the government (aka us) bail them out.
My best man was a commodity trader on the floor in Chicago, said it was insane, I think at one point he had a nervous breakdown, but didn’t quit, made way too much money…
One of my favorite history lessons came from a teacher who pointed out that there were a lot of people who joined the gold rush only to go broke, but the people who really did well were the ones selling them supplies!

I love the Gold and coin adverts! I sorta got into them. The only people that made money were the sellers. AND don’t get me going on Bitcoin!!!

I was a stock broker (real crappy stock broker) for a while. Now whenever I see an exchange of assets I ask for a commission. My friends laugh….

I think my stockbroker smokes weed.
He says he likes to buy low and sell high.

There are those who make a living trading, the odds of being one of them are somewhere around the ones for winning the lottery.

The stock market makes more sense when you realize it doesnt make logical sense and is emotional driven.
