The market hasn't been real for some time if you define "real" as rational. I'd go back to at least the late 90s there it was broken, but probably further back just I wasn't old enough to pay attention.

It does echo though, and unless you're content hiding assets in US dollars to be slowly scammed away by inflation, then the market is there and can be used as a tool. Just most chase dumb shit (like Tesla) without any plan or any attention at all while the market grifts all their funds right off of them.

then the market is there and can be used as a tool.

So can physical property, precious metals, and creative works. Without a gold standard the market is a casino.

Correct. All of those things can be too and it's smart to use those as well. Dealing with the market as if it were a casino is like dealing with a poker game as if it were a slot machine. You sit down at the table and feed pots with no intelligence or discretion at all, and the skilled players will absolutely eat you up.

You're talking about two games of chance. Have you entirely lost the plot?

and the skilled players will absolutely eat you up.

Oh. I didn't realize "inside information" was a "skill." Or that getting government bailouts was a "skill." Or just lying and frontrunning were as well.

And.. you.. think the SEC is doing a good job?

Your analysis is far too simple and you immediately get lost in your own analogy while trying to act is if you have some magic upper hand. lol. All chances, your money would have been better off in your own hands. Comparing potential gains is a killer, no? Or is your analysis solely rooted in the market?

I'm suggesting that looking at the market as gambling is the same as looking at poker as a game of chance. Go actually play poker, the game of chance is secondary to the mental game. It's a chess match. If you've played it for very long at all, that would be quite clear.

Where at any point did I claim that the SEC did a good job, or that inside information didn't exist, or that government bailouts, lying, frontrunning, etc. didn't happen? I claimed the market was a tool. I claimed it was broken, irrational, and only that it echoed and that can be used. That does not mean turn someone into Nancy Pelosi insider trading. It means there are things that can be done. I have no magic hand. I have no system in the sense that someone trying to sell you something might claim. I do lean towards business analysis and staying away from big trendy names. Let social media drive social media things, because those are the most irrational. I'd never claim magic, and I'd never even try to help someone with their own money, because while I have a track record that goes back nearly two decades, I also understand it very well could be made of brittle glass. Nor do I trust their ability to see it as the very first thing I said, a tool, part of a whole. Not a get rich scheme.
