The Stock Market

The stock market today is nothing but legalized gambling. You must be skilled at the game and aware that it's rigged against you.

For just one thing, I understand that the delay between pressing 'Enter' and owning the stock is much longer for us than for the big boys, in fact, it may be deliberately paused at one of many junctures, so they say or maybe not --how would I know?

For just one more thing, I don't necessarily trust the financials provided by the companies. At the very least they may be biased for the company.

Also remember the advantages of insider trading. And false rumors deliberately spread. 

We're just goldfish in an alligator pond. A layperson working alone is at a disadvantage, I am convinced.
