In the same vein I could in theory find 1 trillion dollars on the sidewalk tomorrow, but is there any point in ever considering that an actual possibility?
It’s realistic, just not probable. I know 3 different people who won over a million dollar scratcher and know of 4 others through one degree separation.
All but one of those was a problem gambler. But my point is, if you waste enough money it becomes realistic, if not probable.
After nearly 20 years of building a client base, I am being made equity. I know a lot of people making 500k plus that are upper middle class do to cost of living…
If you’ve been investing regularly since you started working, a couple good months in the market could tick you over the milestone.
Hitting 1 million is very achievable with a half decent job over a decade or two.
They read the comment you responded to. You sounded like you were answering the question posed in that comment, when in fact you were just…saying stuff related to the question, without answering it?
For an *investing individual. But yeah, you make a good technical point. If you start investing right now, it would take quite a bit more than some good months to hit a million though.
Unfortunately billionaire doesn’t really work either. Nobody’s becoming a billionaire in 3 months.
There is no word that easily rolls off the tongue. We’re stuck with multi-millionaire.
Regular millionaires are everywhere. They have a house that’s probably worth a half-mil, which is super common, and then combined retirement savings for two people of $250k each at age 50 and poof, there’s your millionaires.
Being a millionaire is middle class. What’s worse is that it takes being a millionaire to be middle class.

Switch to billionaire and it works
What are you doing that three good months can turn you into a millionaire?
Winning the lottery, unexpected inheritances, game show win, lots of things
Yes, and everyone is one very bad day away from being dead.
They are talking about working or losing work, not about some random events.
Lots of things with an expected probability that converges near zero?
None of that is realistic though.

I don’t know anyone who could die and make me a millionaire.
Hence unexpected!

A decade or two is not three months last time I checked.
That’s where reading all the words I used will help clear that up.

3 good months can turn a several hundred thousandaire into a millionaire.
Was my point, and highlighted in the first sentence. A million is not an insurmountable achievement for a working individual
For an *investing individual. But yeah, you make a good technical point. If you start investing right now, it would take quite a bit more than some good months to hit a million though.
not 3 months, but buy CING. 100x+ within 2-4 years
Pharma startups usually go bust when their drug fails trials. They’re massive gambles.
dont buy it then, more for me.
actual tradable float is much smaller than it appears to be, will be ran back up to 15+ again here soon. from there it’ll only be a measly 25x
I feel like you don’t understand what a gamble is.
not gambling if you know how it’s gonna move
If it was guaranteed to move, it wouldn’t be $5 a share… Hence, the gamble. You have a guess, you don’t know anything
That sounds like a high-risk investment. But grats if you bought it before it got through the roof. Definitely sell it before it falls.
