If you don't have anything in the stock market, you're probably just stupid.

Re: If you don't have anything in the stock market, you're probably just stupid.
Brief starting a thread about how successful he is in the stock market is the best sell signal ever.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77571433


We’re all stupid though, according to Brief.

What with all that IQ he has, I wonder why he spends all day posting on GLP?

You’d think he’d be busy running his plethora of financial vehicles, clients, advising cancer research professionals, engineers, NASA, quantum physicists, heads of government, etc.

Trump made his fortune in real estate, if you got the drive you can do it...
 Quoting: BRIEF


I have two props that clear $10k/year that cost me $52k each but are now worth $100k each. The average person can't make that kind of return in the stock market.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77441624


I'll do you one better, I got a property for $27k that's valued at the PVA for $75K. Got it inspected, only very minor things to repair. Brand new mechanicals, no leaks, brand new metal roof. And oh yea, the PVA's numbers are always low, so fair market is $90K or so.

I'd sell it, but I'd rather keep it as my new home and garage/machine shop.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72726126


How long would it have taken you to accumulate that kind of equity in the stock market? 25 years?

Real estate is awesome. Another option he has is to rent that one out and buy another one. By the time he did that 5 times he'd have $4000 a month coming in AND $500,000 in assets. And he could do that year after year. In 20 years he could have 30 properties worth 3-5 million AND $20,000 a month in rents coming in.

Investing is kinda boring to me, also you need a good initial stack otherwise you will die before your first million.

Technical analysis and trading is amazing tho.

Biggest MMO game in the world, millions of players from every place, also computer (bot) players.

David vs Goliath, the retail trader vs the market

One of the hardest activities you can do, but very very rewarding if your reach the top 5%, which take the money from the other 95%.

 Quoting: BRIEF


Actually, "investing" is a term from an age now long gone bye...

In an era when Monumental Fraud is the hallmark of every wall street vehicle, there is no corelation to "investing". There's no Blue Chip anythings anymore... Huge multiples required to buy stocks in the firms that (for some reason) seem to have staying power... Huge Risk in buying anykind of bond.

There is no vehicle for "investing"... Ordinary Life insurance turned out to be one of the most solid vehicles you might ever have bought, with its guaranteed interest performance and dividends from participating policies or mutual companies.

Northwestern Mutual Life actually bought $400 million in gold some 10-15yrs back...

Willing to bet that 90% of "investments" are turned-over before they're eligible for Long Term Capital Gains tax status; unless they were inherited. Too much risk to hold anything over 6mos. Exxon/Mobil is now regarded as risky... Wasn't General Electric delisted from the DJIA?

Look at all the Looting that took place from 2008... Lehman was a hit & run job, like Bear, Stearns... Merrill, Lynch taken over. All these formerly Blue Chip regarded entities were simply targeted by the Usual Gang... Merrill was literally "given" to Citi or was it BOA?

An "investment" was something of longterm stability and safety.

Corporate Bonds never were insured up until a short time before AIG retired Hank Greenberg and was coopted into insuring Bonds & Derivatives... The whole idea of a "bond" was you had to do your due dilligence and only Blue Chip Corps were able to issue bonds.

The entire financial system is a Potemkin Village, just there for appearances.

The market is a criminal enterprise which The Big Boys have manipulated to enable continuous siphoning of money and assets, not only from "investors" but also directly from the U.S. Treasury.

Truly, if you Don't Understand This, you are the chump at the table...


You get better odds playing 21 or roulette in Vegas.

Well.. you should put more of your "chips" into building greenhouses that have a living space, for young people to get started on their own, growing their own fresh produce without getting Geo-Engineering chemicals sprayed on it.
