The “Stock Market” has ALWAYS been a way for schemers and charlatans to rob those who think they’re above the gambling fray.
My money is a lot safer stuffed in a sock and under my mattress than “investing” in the market. I don’t gamble. I occasionally, at my wife’s direction, buy a lottery ticket, but I do so with the complete knowledge of my odds of winning, which are abysmal.
You see, I took (and understood) my “Statistics” class in college – I understand the reason WHY so many Indian tribes opened up casinos when they were allowed to.
I understand WHY so many gambling venues are operated by “organized crime”.
From bingo halls to investment firms, they ALL have just one goal – to separate you and me from our hard-earned cash.
Personally, I appreciate giving my “extra” cash to a “homeless” person who will “invest” in a bottle of “hooch” and maybe a sandwich than to someone who will use my money to help pay for his or her Mercedes – but that’s just me.

Attributed to Joseph Kennedy (father of JFK, RFK, et al.) “If shoeshine boys are giving stock tips, then it’s time to get out of the market.”
