True, but you're applying that in a really elitist way. Stocks are something working class people should all be interested in, nothing wrong with driving uber and having a hobby/hustle which is not profitable currently.

Of course, if the cunt starts giving you advice then it's ridiculous. But still

Asset managing firms control the market. They make waves with their own transactions and capitalize on it. The most you can do is ride the wake. Unless you’re telling me that you visit the offices of every company whose stock you’ve invested in, poured through their earnings, analyzed the roads and logistics to their warehouses comparing them to competitors, find out who transports to them, where those routes get bottlenecked, if they can easily resource cargo through alternate means, if they have connections in learning institutions for steady streams of recruits, read over the company’s training regime which is always pointless sideshows, corporate speak mission statements. No lay person does any of that.
