I’ve been watching the stock market for at least twenty years. I also did an analysis of it for the past hundred years. It’s always the same cycle. I say it’s manipulation from a few elitists who control everything:
hype, hype, hype, up, up, up, crash
hype, hype, up, up
crash
It took about fifteen years for Nasdaq to get back to its 2000 high of about 4500 after the crash.
The media and the TV networks are all hyping stocks because it’s their business is to hype stocks.
I’m not disputing the fact that an astute investor can pick a few wins here and there but for the most part every stock market is a game run by insiders despite the laws against this.
It’s a sucker’s game. Financial advisors and brokerages get paid regardless of whether stocks go up or down.
Churning is when you have a financial advisor who trades your stocks not to make you money but to make him or her money on commissions.
Jeff Bezos’s Amazon stock rose almost 6000% since its IPO. It’s a fluke.
I say the emotionol drain of investing in stocks is not worth the risk. Save what money you need, live modestly and enjoy life.
There are probably a million stock and money advice websites out there and a few hundred money books at #332 or HG179 to about HG5155 at the library. If you're really into money, I urge you to go to #332 at the library and borrow a bunch of those stock advice books there. There are hundreds. It seems like they never end. Every year, some fresh new books come out about the stock market even though there is no new, advanced way to buy stocks.

Chapter 2. Buying Stocks Basics
Chapter 3. Stock Sellers
Chapter 4. My Philosophy

Chapter 8. Green Investing/ Eco Investing
Chapter 9. Offbeat Money Ideas I Come Across

Volume 3. Money Around the World
Chapter 1. Foreign Stocks
I cover mutual funds and bonds in another book on non-stock investments.
Let's say I'm an old veteran of the market. I've watched it for a lot of years now. I used to watch the stock shows on TV. I don't anymore but I finally figured it out. All those claims that virtually everyone who is involved in the stock business make including financial planners are lying.
Some are being deliberately fraudulent but I suspect most are just spewing the myths they were told like the stock market eventually always goes up. Of course, over long periods of time the market will rise but will it rise more than keeping your money safe in a savings bond or CD not to mention the risks?
The stock market climbs slowly over five years then all the gains are wiped out in a week. That's reality. I still see them hyping stocks up on the money shows. Your best bet is to put your savings in a safe investment, either a savings bond or a rental property then go to the job and business books I've written to figure out either an extra job over your main job now or a way to make some money by doing your own thing.
It's the only sure thing. Personally, after watching the markets for about 12 years, I now know everybody in the business lies. There are a lot more losses in the stock market than anybody lets on.
Think about the perfect sucker business. A financial advisor makes money when he invests his client's money and it goes up but when it goes down, the client loses. He doesn't lose a cent.
It's no risk for him. He wins in good times and doesn't lose any
