Investing is a zero-sum game.
Unless you are willing to spend 8+ hours a day to become as well trained as your competition, you should not invest in the stock market.
Focus on your career/skill and stop wasting your time.

It's not. Just invest and wait some years. Only idiots try to beat the market.

maybe, but some markets certainly beat others. is it worth the time to pick a specific market to invest in?
You can always do real estate

Not Zero Sum because companies create value, and historically since stocks were created several hundred years ago the total value has gone up.

How much did you lose?
>>1278351
Unless you develop a system that actually works, which isn't as hard as you think
Just don't be the last one in a pump and dump and you'll be alright

What if I am though? I need to put my energy somewhere else and the daily grind is stagnant.
It's a zero sum game if you're a small time retail investor who fantastises on day trading into riches. The real traders are the ones that work at the IB and buy side trading desk who manage $500M+ portfolios for CALPERs, GE, Ford and the investment portfolios of large pension and 401k funds.
You outperform the market by 1% and your performance bonus is 2% of net gains on 1.5 billion dollars....

Although desu it's only half true
