Why were cartoons in the 90s so adamant in teaching kids that stocks are bad?

the market is for carnies and rubes only. they call it the bull market because (You), the investor, are the cuck.

Why were cartoons in the 90s so adamant in teaching kids that stocks are bad?

dotcom bubble
also a homer personality type that's impatient and impulsive shouldn't be investing in individual companies

nah. i've made money on stocks

Anyone against the stock market is a fucking retard. Just park your savings in something like the S&P500 and make 10% interest every year.
Don’t play around with volatile stocks and you’re fine.

There’s so much bad funicular advice from abject losers. Stop wasting money on fucking toys and consumer scams design to siphon your wealth. Start building generational wealth you fucking morons

Ive made money selling drugs, too. Doesnt make either thing righteous.

equating stocks and drugs

you're a fucking retard

i’ve made money betting on horses but im not going to base my financial future on it

yeah retarded mostly because drugs would be more of a consistent source of income than the stock market would, unless you were an american politician doing insider trading legally.

Because only soulless, immoral gamblers deal in stocks.

If the Dow Jones doesn’t go up 10% average per year, WW3 will break out and if that happens your savings will be the least of your concerns.

I have no idea who Baskin Robert's is

boy we better keep putting all our finite resources in the device that demands infinite growth then

you don't. you diversify on divdend stocks, etf, bonds, forex, etc.

finite

But money can be printed infinitely anon

What anon doesn’t want you to know is that if you have like $500 you can get in on this. Buy an actual fucking growth stock or invest in a Roth IRA, you dummies. You guys talk about ‘people who don’t care if you live or die’ bitch i make $60k a year and I am one of those people just by virtue of buying stocks in growing businesses and not knowing if any employees die, are fired, or harmed any given day. Don’t let this guy make you think you need to be a billionaire to do that

stocks are the best way for anyone to grow wealth. buy the s&p 500, keep buying and hold until you can retire. it’s literally that easy

It’s a scam for you, idiot. Buy sensible stocks, watch them grow for free. Why the fuck do you guys think you have to be a Rothschild to do this

economy collapses

It's actually crazy how evil it is to promote savings accounts over investments, and this is how the majority of financial education is in public schools

Not equating stocks and drugs, retard. Im comparing the hustle, retard. Youre a fuckin retard who cant read.

the american public treats financial literacy the same way this board treats media literacy because it’s easier to fleece retards who don’t understand what interest rates mean

Just inherited a quarter mil and have it in a fund giving 4% APY. Where do I learn investment finances?

he thinks stocks are a crapshoot

Go look at the S&P 500. Holy fuck you are ignorant.

Two more weeks!

even if you bought at the absolute top of 2007 before the crash and held til now, you’re up 3x since then. public schools do a horrible job of educating people on this stuff

Ah yes, the best get rich quick scheme. Step one: be rich.

Do you care that people you don't know lives or dies?

when the economy collapses you'll have bigger problems than money

it’s up 12% in a year and is being actively manipulated by the leaders of the free world, again, selling drugs and investing in physical assets will make you more money.

Oy vey

Exactly.

This was considered a comically unethical and obvious jewish gambling scam in the 1990s.

These days crypto takes that position except is a million times worse and can't even have the pretence of making sense to anyone with 2 braincells.

no, they wont. drugs will get you in trouble, and physical assets have higher carrying costs and lower returns, not to mention liquidity issues

Which means its a reliable stock

Volatility of stocks aside, savings accounts are, by definition, thievery. The interest rate will only ever underperform inflation/bonds/stocks/RE/anything, it's literally the bank stealing your money. And yet there is large segment of "educator" society out there that swears by them as the safest default option. It's the LEAST SAFE option. YOU ARE LIGHTING MONEY ON FIRE.

if you were around in the 80s when money printing was low and interests rates were high, it makes sense
start reading a newspaper with a business section
consider taking a night class at a college
you're probably better off in the long run owning a low cost etf like SPY instead of that 4%, or at least splitting them

yeah no shit? thanks for posting cope

Oh btw i also already own land. Or are you talking about flipping shit?

In the 80's, bonds were king. Savings have always been an evil kike thief scheme.

All these good goys who think they have a future and retirement in the west

grim beyond belief

And yet there is large segment of "educator" society out there that swears by them as the safest default option.

understand they're teaching to the dumbest kids in the class

guy ruins his finances and future planning never to have one

I can see the appeal

It can be that, but also if you just put money in the S&P500 it WILL go up over time. It won't get you rich quick but if you have extra money laying around it's better than having it sitting in a savings account that gives you 0.1% interest annually.
What gets people burned is the gamifaction of trading, day trading and buying risky and volatile stocks like crypto etc. If you're lucky you CAN get rich quick doing that, but you might also be throwing money in the trash. Putting your money in an index fund might not be as fun or instant gratification, but it is a good way to at the very least make your money grow consistent with inflation

who here because Anon Babble requires verification

people who don’t care if you live or die

Honestly, anon, how many people do you not know that you care if they live or die?

illusory gambling

It's not gambling if you don't treat it like gambling. Put your shit in a money market account and check on it yearly. It goes up and you don't have to do anything.

its okay for the driving impulse of the american economy to completely lack empathy in the pursuit of number going up for a few but down for the rest

Why are you holding stock in a dying company? Are you retarded?

You didn't answer my question.

the only one coping is you who misses out on free money because

hur dur but what if society collapses and anarchy reigns

money you could use to fund your prepper hobby by the WAY

I hope you are at least putting your money in a bank while the interest rates are somewhat high

Fucking welfare queens think they can just get money for nothing. Get a job you fucking leeches.

Why yes I do own stocks, why do you ask?

Who are you quoting?

Those stocks aren't free, Brantley.

if you bought an index fund, it would go up for you too. but youre too spiteful (stupid) to do that

yes i care about people i dont know living or dying because i dont believe any of us are particularly insulated against experiencing injustice or pain at the hands of people who have no empathy or care that you exist, hence the existence of genocide and health insurance death panels. you’ll be selfish until something affects you personally.

Thanks, I will not buy stocks now because

this cartoon of the 90s told me stocks are bad

Hmmmm

Yes anon, I bought stocks with MY money. The difference between people living on welfare and people living on stocks is that I live of my own money

actually dealing drugs is objectively more morally sound than being a stockfag

When the economy collapses who loses? When a company loses value who loses? The stock owners or wagies? Don't be a sucker. Stocks will always bounce back because that's what company management does. Bring companies back on track. You might be the fat that gets trimmed and good luck living off your savings account the

Then why aren't you investing in companies that can alleviate that suffering?

Ah so you can invest in the stock market and care if people live or die.

Real easy to say on the internet. You're all talk and zero action. You don't care, you empathize, which isn't anything. You'll shit out your opinions on the web, acting virtuous, but when push comes to shove, you'll just lower your head and avoid eye contact as you walk right past people who you know that need help.

Sure but that has nothing to do with whether you have access to the profits within the stock market

me thinking about how much of a good person I am for not having a 401k

Wrong. Having money = being evil, chud.

It’s not really a vow of poverty when you’re just shitty with money and spend welfare on toys

I got mine

Always the boomers...

the best day to start investing was yesterday. the 2nd best day is today

You can get yours too. It’s called the S&P 500. Please don’t kneecap yourself with millennial cynicism

I've been sitting on like 20k in my savings account since like 2020 lmao. I got it from my mom selling the family house and I literally don't have a fucking clue what to do with it so I hold onto it for emergencies, and I've spent about 3k or so of it since then since I didn't want to lose it. Legitimately how would you even go about buying and selling stocks?

Btw I'm a leaf if that matters (it probably does).

So I've got about 10K in savings. What do?

go to your bank

open up a brokerage account with a tfsa

buy a bunch of your banks shares with it

before the stock market became a meme, what every jew wanted you to waste your time on was investing in 'bonds'. they wanted stupid goy to drop their money into what was basically interest free loans (for the government) in the bond market so you'd make no profit but still be a good patriotic goy. This came to an end and never really recovered in the public eye when the bond market collapsed in the early 90s.

I don't have a physical bank to go to, it's entirely online. So yeah.

Also if I ever need that money for an emergency at any time, I'm fucked.

cartoons in the 90s

retard

who do you bank with, superstore?
can sell shares anytime during trading hours
it's a bank so it's not going to lose 50% overnight
you don't have access to credit?
bank will extend line of credit based on assets

who do you bank with, superstore?

Simplii.

can sell shares anytime during trading hours

it's a bank so it's not going to lose 50% overnight

Legitimately did not know this. Any time I had to ask my mom for emergency money she'd always say it would take a long time for her to pull it out of the stocks or banks or whatever.

you don't have access to credit?

I have a credit card with a credit limit of $1100k. That's it.

bank will extend line of credit based on assets

What assets lmao? I'm a millennial, I don't even own a car. I rent a shitty apartment and take public transit.

Any time I had to ask my mom for emergency money she'd always say it would take a long time for her to pull it out of the stocks or banks or whatever.

she also told you about santa claus

What assets lmao?

cash value you would have in an investment account

cash value you would have in an investment account

I legit did not know this either. It doesn't really make any sense though. "Hey bank, I know I gave you all my money, but I need more money. The fact I have no money now because you have it all is proof why I'm good for money, so you should give me more money".
That makes no fucking sense, it's like a bar letting you drink for free because you always spend all your money there.

Yeah, the stock market literally is gambling. Not that it's a bad thing. I just wish regulatory bodies would drop the pretense and deregulate it. Inside trading, manipulation, etc. should be legal, it intuitively makes sense. If someone thinks it's unfair, then nobody is forcing them to play

It’s your money even when they’re holding it. If you’re thinking the number in your savings/checking account is your worth, that’s incorrect. The money you have invested is your money

The dumbest take ive encountered all day

sorry I'm late I work for a living so I can't be here 24/7.

baskin roberts trvst fvnd bvnd! kek its kino! has been since 2011! rock JigC rock!

You treat everything like it’s a random dice roll, but it’s not. There are businesses that have always gone up to due to clearly good practices and products, and there’s always a reason anything goes up or down, often very much in vision. But sadly you are le gamer so you only know RNG, and you forgot you’re like 20 years deep into making up pessimistic reasons not to do anything

Okay, so what is the solution here? Go open up another account at a physical bank like CIBC, transfer all of my money to it, then when this whole process is done after like 6+ months, book a day off work and meet with them to try and buy stocks?

I’m not an expert enough to give real bank advice but it won’t be 6 months, I moved $10k in an afternoon to a new bank years ago. Just open the account online or by phone now if that’s your plan, and you might find out you can bring in the money really quick. You can money transfer and stuff but I just withdrew and deposited an envelope of cash lol

The only potential downside would be negative impact on the underlying company itself. In that case, then you could argue that's a risk they would simply have to accept for publicly floating their shares. Nobody is forcing the company to go public.

I'm more talking about the practice of investment itself. It's gambling and also a zero-sum game in which all investors are in competition. There is no reason it should be "fair"

Stock prices are determined by supply and demand first and foremost. Solid fundamentals CAN be the reason for movement in stock price, if enough investors are acting based on them. That's not always the case though, there are other times when price movements are down to pure speculation/frenzy.

I don't get why you're angrily downplaying the randomness involved and projecting that I'm a gamer

Between taking multiple days off work, dealing with tax issues via pulling money out of a TSFA in a lump sum, etc, it absolutely will be. I don't even have any photo ID with my current address.

Shut the fuck up nigger you sit there giggling and spamming from 5-9am noone believes you. What a pathetic sad life you must live in Mommy's house

cram it fundie! your just mad you got mindrocked by the jigster!

ironic that you live off your parents wealth. Maybe they wouldn't hate you if you woke up before 1pm you waste of space

I woke up at 2011 and ate a bowl of fresh delicious iced creams! so get crammed!
