Thoughts
There is only one purpose of investment, and that is to make money. Being a friend of time, value investing, helping companies grow, these are all means, not ends. If you can’t make money, these means are all nonsense.
In the stock market, there are two ways to make money: earning the enterprise’s money (dividends and growth) and earning the fool’s money (playing against each other). Earning the enterprise’s money is slow but stable and sustainable; earning the fool’s money is fast but risky and unsustainable, because fools will also learn, and there will not always be fools for you to play against.
For retail investors, the best strategy is to mainly earn the enterprise’s money, and occasionally earn the fool’s money. Do not reject earning the fool’s money, and do not rely on it.
