My retirement fund that I just started was worth $15k in December of 2021. Then, May of 2022, our area was hit really hard. My retirement plan went down to $7k. Today, it’s worth $11k. I lost $4k on my retirement plan. It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare. But every sector has been ravaged by the stock market changes.
Yeah, no, investing can’t be compared to gambling like that. Unless you’re picking stocks at absolute random, there are underlying market forces can be understood and used to make reliable investments.
OP made some shitty bets and is blaming the system
You can say the same things about sports betting.
No, you can’t. Fundamentally very, very different things.
