Tfw to intelligent for investing

and during each transaction that dollar is becoming less valuable due to inflation, and that share is increasing in value due to growth.

Bank accounts are insured by the government. That's half the point of using a bank.

I can't believe there are people still falling for this bait

Trading is zero-sum but investing is not.
That's why trading is gambling but investing is smart.

I feel like this alot

You're a fucking retard I hope you understand that.

Where did the original money and investment come from

wow you're a dumbo.

>investing is not zero sum
by definition it is. no matter how you make money, the money came from someone else. someone else (or multiple people combined) has x amount less while you have x amount more.

I'm assuming you're referring to investing in a profitable company and seeing gains that way? What makes the company profitable? People losing money buying their product. You could argue that they gain assets equal to their money so there is no net loss for them, but we all know with depreciation this is untrue and even if they sold it for 80% of what they bought it for, someone down the line eventually loses money no matter how many times it is resold.

I have a feeling I'll be called back to explain this better...

and because of that insurance they are at liberty to do crazy shit because they have a safety net.

Got to do something until that rare good thread comes along.

>It's

Itz spelled "itz" you nuffnunny!
