My husband bought Apple when it was worth pennies. People bet on quality stocks all the time, not just the high-price ones.

Just because a portion of the population (and DCUM) does not understand stocks and is not educated on specific sectors, doesn’t mean everyone is like this.

lol. It’s the people who actually do “understand stocks” that know you aren’t going to consistently beat the market without luck or trading on actionable insider information.

I’ve bought and sold Apple many times over the past 17 years.  But it’s gambling.  Saying it’s not is just dishonest.  My real money is in index funds because they’ve demonstrated to be the best long term investment.[/quote]

It's a really common human trait to want to ascribe success to your own choices/work.  Of course that's important in most things in life, but certainly not the explanation for all success.  It's hard for a lot of people to accept that they don't have control over things like this.[/quote]
