Same reason why, if someone blackmails you with a pic or vid, just let them release it. They likely won’t. But who cares. If my friends and family see a webcam vid of me furiously masturbating, that’s probably more damaging to them, than me. I’d just own it.

It’s definitely not common sense lol. People love to gamble and dream.

Yes they are, I’m up 30% over the past 3 years. Just buying and holding index funds. If you chase big gains, you’ll get them sometimes, but you’ll also get big losses that just cancel them out. Slow and steady wins the race.

If people are destitute after a 5% drop, they really need to reconsider their investment strategy. Index funds are the only viable way.

Like what?
