👀👀 Today I heard a joke that older generations often like to repeat: 👇👇👇👇 Stocks are a zero-sum game. You can never beat the big players. It’s just gambling and getting money without working.👆👆👆👆 That got me thinking, and I came up with a witty comeback: Saying stocks are a zero-sum game is like saying going to the 💪gym is a zero-sum game — because if someone gets stronger, someone else must get weaker. More professionally speaking “That logic may apply to options and futures, where derivatives are indeed largely zero-sum — someone wins only if someone else loses. But stocks are different. Behind stocks are real businesses. As long as companies create value, earn profits, grow with the economy, and pay dividends, the pie🍕 can grow bigger — and everyone can benefit together. $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) $QQQ (Invesco QQQ) $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $BTC
