Sure because “buying the dip” in regards to a recession is totally about someone buying half a share and not corporations vacuuming assets out of the economy.
A percentage is a percentage, regardless of how much money you have. Your reply was that investinghaving ‘the money’ made me ‘the problem’ as if only wealthy people could buy stocks. I satirized that, because it takes very little money to invest in the stock market.
Whether you have other reasons to choose not to do so is a different matter.
Nope, participation in a system that’s forced on you isn’t consent. But you can choose to do something to change the system. Get active, march, vote, organize.
Not really. In today’s world, a couple having assets of up to a few million is the equivalent of someone 50 years ago having a paid off house and a pension. That’s the kind of assets you need if you want to finance a basic middle class retirement.
That’s usually a house. But yeah if they have a million in a 401k then they’re part of the problem. Those funds are sitting in investment companies like Blackrock fueling the primacy of Wall Street over everything.
Having a million in a 401k today is like having a pension 50 years ago. If you want to actually retire in this capitalist hellscape, that’s what you need to have. A million in a 401k is like $40k/year of retirement income. And it’s not like pension funds don’t invest their savings in Wall Street either.
If you have the money to do that then you are the problem.
This would be a great argument if fractional shares didn’t exist
Or penny stocks, or just general stock that isn’t too expensive. I have a handful of shares of MVST. It’s $1.77 per share.

Right, anyone who has ‘the money’ to make any kind of investment at all is ‘the problem’.
Nobody is worried about your penny stocks and you know that.

I can’t even make sense of what you’re saying. You’re the one who replied to me. Going to leave it at that.
Don’t hate the player hate the game
Except the players with the biggest headstart get to make up the rules of the game.
So am I supposed to give away my money or what’s the play here
Nope, participation in a system that’s forced on you isn’t consent. But you can choose to do something to change the system. Get active, march, vote, organize.
Oh no. No. No. No. The players make the rules. Shifting focus to the game being bad is a deflection as old as time.
