    You can’t beat them, but you can ride their coattails a little if you invest in stocks.

        Sadly, that’s the case for most, and it always will be since we only elect capitalists.

        I always find it sad, when investing companies will have a promotions like “Invest $100,000 and get this amazing benefit.”

        I don’t have a spare $100k to just to drop on investing.

        It’s really not.

        There are so many ways to invest smart. Hell, it’s legal for congresspeople to insider trade (like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Cruz, and others) and there are whole-ass ETF’s you can invest in that just follow those legislators’ investments so you can piggyback on their trades.

        Gambling is for people with no patience to read or wait for a return. That’s the long and short of it.
