In the last two years, we’ve heard a lot about stock market indices, which have hit a record higher than the previous 15 weeks in the United States. A few months ago, we had a report that I was thinking of buying stock from a very different market than the one we were talking about in.
A common misconception is that stock trading is a zero-sum game. That is, when someone has one dollar in their account plus the value of their stocks, they have a “negative balance,” which means that as long as the price of the stock is higher, they are losing money. But, stock trading is actually a zero-sum game when the market value of the shares is a constant.
In an important, but difficult, chapter in the book, The Rise of the American Dream, a lot of people have been saying that there are no winners. I know that the opposite is true, but you have to trust in the people you are working with. They are looking for their own way. It’s a tough business.
This is a fact that is sometimes overlooked and often forgotten about in the financial world. There are actually very few companies that have no losses or gains and no winners or losers. Sure, a lot of people are making money on the stock market, but so are tons of people that are losing money. However, over 70% of people who have been given stocks by their parents, and over 55% of people who have received stocks from a family member, are experiencing losses or gains.

That is to say, we’re not talking about people that buy and sell stocks. We’re talking about people that receive stocks from family members.
Over 80% of the people who have received stocks from family members are receiving a loss. And over half of the people who have been given stocks from family members are receiving a gain. If you want to know why companies don’t run, look at companies that are bought and sold by family members or by the family of their own. As a result, these companies are very seldom profitable.
Most of the people that receive stocks from family members are receiving a loss. If you want to know why companies dont run, look at companies that are bought and sold by family members or by the family of their own. As a result, these companies are very seldom profitable.
So is it time to put in some stock? You can’t know what will happen with stocks until your stock trades. But if you are invested in a company, chances are that you’re pretty much already ahead of most people. So if you don’t know what you are doing, chances are that you can’t be much closer to the truth than most people.
When you’re talking about buying stock, you’re talking about selling stock.
