Yes and no. There's definitely money to be made in the stock market, but you almost need to be a savant. It's not for everybody, that's for sure. Even though it's essentially rigged, there's still ways to make money. It's just a really unpredictable game and requires far too many mental gymnastics than what it's worth. But you're right, as soon as retail Investors start making money they come and sabotage it for us. Rinse and repeat. It's like playing chess and poker with cheaters.
