BS: Investing for the common man

Elon Musk is not the common man when he invested in creating Paypal.
Perhaps you are a common person who thinks Wall St is a rigged Casino and you would be right. But if you can take a risk but you missed it when I told you about Apple going from 36 to 400 or when Google went public, the next risk coming up are 2 quantum computer concerns soon to go public. One uses holes and the other uses qbits. They both could fold or not but I only reccomend your own research. I don't know who needs a quantum home computer but maybe half the people who have phones would want one. If there are any winners in this game, best to put the stock in a safety deposit box and forget it..
Maybe demand will come from unforseen uses or from next generation computers :^?

I've managed to avoid gambling debt (and alcoholism) and will have to stay poor (but sober)

I don't drink or gamble either but small risks in life allow for the possibility whether you are rich or poor, "its good to have money".

Keeping the bills paid on time is a form of investing in yourself. That's mostly what I manage, with one investment account that is treading water. :)

Even if you can't buy preffered stock, once every 10 years a reasoned opportunity appears. There is no such thing as a sure thing.

But I bought 4,500,000 shares of a stock years back at .2 to .3 mils per share- it went to zero.

I have been watching videos on investing, aimed at Americans, and been commenting that COVID is a game changer. The numbers out of work, and expectations of no job to return to, Amazon paying piss poor wages the kind of options left. With stock prices over-boyant. Then I saw a few pundits saying there has to be a "levelling" - the market is over-geared. (and ads screaming at you that NOW is the time to invest).

Sounds a bit like 1929 - doesn't it?

History repeats itself, it has to, because no-one is listening.

I said the same in 2007. The ratio of average house prices cf average wages were my clue. Ah! But it was different from 1929. Yea, sure, if you pick yer metric, mine is hubris. All it takes is one more butterfly to flap its wings, like the Evergiven................
