      Or they’ll rent the goose out, so to speak: start an investment fund and charge clients a percentage. Hedge funds often have a provision where they get a share of any excess returns.
      Of course the gurus always have a reason why they don’t do this, some vague appeal to democracy and helping the working folks, or conversely an attack on the ruling caste: “Wall Street’s trying to suppress this information, so be a brave rebel and give me $500.”

Obviously, there is a lot of code that could be written to do a lot of wonderful things, with ChatGPT. But it's a try/fail/try/fail/try/fail effort.

    Richard was far too generous about 10X returns with crypto. Not only does the investor have to choose 3 investments that return 10X, they must invest 100% of their assets into EACH investment.
    I've been in the markets since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to have multiple 10X (and larger) returns over the years, but the idea of throwing every cent I have after each investment is overwhelmingly nauseating.

      @@itsacorporatething Conceptually, you have a claim to a percentage of their value if they are to be liquidated or sold, and a claim to a percentage of their potential future distribution of wealth to owners. More concretely, if the company has one million dollars on a bank account and you own 1% of the company, then conceptually you own among other things 10,000 dollars of that 1 million.
      However, I agree things can get more complicated for example when you add that the company might not get sold or liquidated or distribute wealth to owners for the next 10 or 20 years. So you can argue that a share in such a company is in some sense worthless, because no money will actually come out of it and back to you. The only reason why it is worth anything is that other people is willing to pay you for the share, which is pure speculation and 'greater fool'-gambling :)

    I love these Tik Tok reactions. There are far too many gurus out there. If someone has a really successful trading strategy, they're not going to be announcing it to everyone. A big part of that reason is that if someone has a great trading strategy, it becomes less effective as more people follow the same strategy up until it disappears all together. Beyond that, there are a lot of people that get lucky who then think they have an inside view of the "stock game," and so after making money with a trading strategy then decide to mortgage their house and risk their entire life savings only to find out that most successful trading strategies tend to be fairly short-lived. Someone who can consistently beat the market over decades of time is going to make the most money not by selling books and courses but by opening their own wealth management firm and picking up customers.
    Otherwise, investing is not necessarily meant to be exciting. Good investments with good wealth managers largely should be running in the background and growing over time. No one wants to hear it, but the best strategy is to live on less than what you make (the bigger that gap, the better), and invest more of your income every month (after making sure your high-interest debts are paid off and you have a really good emergency savings built). It's boring for the first few years, then after awhile, it's cool to see how much more it grows and what you have invested. Everyone else pushing these schemes is really just trying to sell a course.
