The stock market is for financing and injecting capital into the real economy, not a place for retail investors to make money. If you want to profit here, it's harder than reaching the sky—though there are exceptions.

Unless you possess independent thinking and dare to go against the crowd. The stock market inherently harvests ordinary people who follow trends blindly. If you can overcome fear, buy low and sell high, your win rate will improve significantly—unfortunately, 99% of people can't do this.
