Fact is, as far as the stock markets concerned, there is a big "house". Brokers, analysts, Fund managers, advertising, etc. Lots of overhead costs that need paid for. So the casino takes its costs from the system. On the other hand there are "investors". That investment idea may work unless the whole market is overvalued because of various pumpers and crooks over playing it. I know this myself. I worked for companies during bear markets that were making money hand over foot. Or, if not, in a position where they shortly would be. All the same, I would see the stock sold (as they were small companies) into the ground because the big companies were not doing well. And those guys were supposed to be stronger then everyone else. So I find some of your ideas about investment unusual. Good investments can go down for years imho. Over time. A good company can turn into a bad one and be worth chit too. Seen that as well.
