k faggots heres how you literally get rich over 20-50 years, if you follow this guide, i guarantee you that you won't end up middle class.
markets work on interest rates, monetary policy/regulations, money supply, subsidies and taxes.
Now, some stocks will do better than others and others will go bankrupt or be liquidated, who cares.
intrinsic value is all that matters, and you need to buy things as close to it as possible. doing so, you can SAFELY load the fuck up on debt (I can get a mortgage at 3.5% in Australia, for whatever amount given I have cash flow/income as security.).
Now inflation is always understated by governments, so that interest rates can be negative without appearing so, and govt debt is cheaper. Eventually the government will own all debt and control it, so negative rates are 100% a certainty, not 99% probable. He who has the most debt wins...
So go and read stockpicking, economic fundamentals of a service based economy and a manufacturing economy, and commodity pricing/demand fundamentals and begin to research some stocks to buy with low Price to Earnings, low Price to Book values, and stable/growing earnings. Rolling in 3y+ periods, you will almost always earn a profit, and beat the market.
to reinforce this, wealth attracts more wealth because of debt. if i can reliably get 12-25% return on my money, i gear, i can make a margin of 8-46% confidently.
Now if you can be smart about when you buy and sell, look at yield curves, government policy, and regulation, you can sell for the worst 3 years, even four, of the economic cycle. So loading up on debt becomes far more safe.
put simply, if i'm a trillionaire, i can lend from the banks from nations with super low interest rates at even more discount rates- i.e 1-2%. Then i can invest in china and other countries with no housing bubble compared to their output, and know the return i get is going to be half a dozen the return of the overall market.
