You can't beat them, but you can ride their coattails a little if you invest in stocks.
Step 1: Have discretionary money
Step 2: Invest
I guess I'm stuck at Step 0.5.
Sadly, that's the case for most, and it always will be since we only elect capitalists.
I always find it sad, when investing companies will have a promotions like "Invest $100,000 and get this amazing benefit."
I don't have a spare $100k to just to drop on investing.
"Fuck you, I'm going to get mine"
thats just gambling but takes longer. at least at the roulette table you find out right away
It's really not.
There are so many ways to invest smart. Hell, it's legal for congresspeople to insider trade (like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Cruz, and others) and there are whole-ass ETF's you can invest in that just follow those legislators' investments so you can piggyback on their trades.
Gambling is for people with no patience to read or wait for a return. That's the long and short of it.
