You can make money with the stockmarket — if you’re desperate and a have a long horizon. God bless ETFs\u00a0 and dollar cost averaging.<\/p>\n
You’re always<\/strong>\u00a0better off with your own business, with your own skills.<\/p>\n Doing your own thing, you get satisfaction and happiness. And money, if you want it.<\/p>\n With the stockmarket, you get frustration and unhappiness.<\/p>\n Used to be you could pick technology, invest in it and watch your rewards explode. 150 years ago, it was wondrous things like electricity, railroads, the internal combustion engine. Then we got fiber optic, satellites, the Internet, on-line shopping and the cloud.<\/p>\n But today?<\/p>\n Today we make up “diseases” (like a failing memory) and peddle cures made from brainless jellyfish (i.e. Prevagen).<\/p>\n I love seeing animals on Instagram. Every hour of watching gives me at least ten new shoe companies, with shoes I can slip into (don\u2019t have to bend), with shoes that can be washed in my washing machine, with shoes that haven\u2019t destroyed a tree or killed an animal. Amazingly, the best (and cheapest) shoes I find on Amazon and eBay \u2013 my favorite being these $21.99 ones on eBay.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20-shoes.jpg\")
