A stock investor wants free money.
He doesn’t want to buy when markets are down and stocks are cheap.
He’ll comfortably buy stocks when markets are up and stocks are comparatively expensive.
And then complain why they’re not rich. Peasants.
Stock markets are like pendulums. It keeps swinging from one end to another.
And the swings are wild.
The day one cannot tolerate these swings he should be out of the markets, respectfully.
