re: #238 A hollow voice says NOW drain that swamp!
To which I reply that I am a small investor and have done and continue to do well enough in the market. And I am very far from the only one. Sorry about your losses, but that doesn’t mean everyone loses.
I never had stock losses, because I never had stocks. My wife lost her money before I met her.
In the Great Depression, it wasn’t the ultra-wealthy who lost money. The same with the Great Recession. Nor the Covid-19 pandemic (look at the extremely wealthy people like Jeff Bezos who have made billions while others have lost everything).
