I'm reading the Barefoot investor, it came out 10+ years ago. I wish I'd read it then just after buying my house. But that has the same buckets and you're talking about. Unfortunately your self admission of coming from wealth makes it very hard for someone who didn't to want to sympathize sheerly because you're from a rich family. I'm working class and I very much am against funding evil corporations even though my superannuation does..

2026-02-14 02:33:14 +0000 UTCGotta say regs, I disagree with what you said towards the beginning comparing the casino and stock trading. The info you have about companies is more like knowing the odds of various outcomes in a game. This info doesn't guarantee an outcome, but gives you a reason to bet on a particular outcome. Knowing finance fundamentals and placing bets based on those is more akin to playing blackjack and betting based on basic strategy. The dealer showing his cards is just reading the future essentially. Investment is very much gambling, it's just there is no house betting against you. It's the ultimate version of a rising tide lifting all boats because individuals with more capital can invest more in companies who benefit from greater levels of investment. Of course, that is only the case if you have a boat. Otherwise, you're just drowning.
