I really struggle to understand how people are supposed to invest in the stock market without insider trading. If you work without advantageous information respect to the general public, aren't you just playing roulette?!
Or you can just get an index fund that is pegged to the overall performance of the market and you will do better than the vast majority of hedge funds or individual traders trying to beat the market.
Not if you have insider knowledge though...especially with triple leverage

Yes, the official story is that you're supposed to venerate and respect the people who can make money on stocks because they won at gambling.
That's exactly how I think about it. Wish I could make enough to be comfortable and retire just from a day worth of stock shit, but we all know the people doing that are already very wealthy and connected.
Working class people aren't invited to the party. I don't even see the point of trying or would know how to start.
