Stocks are a scam.

Add in index funds with their bullshit fees & the governments penalty fee for pulling funds out of 401k's early, it turns into a robbery.

The penalty fee is 50% from the government. Then the index charges another penalty of 10% on.

Everything you know about financial markets is wrong.
The markets are designed to rip you off. If you got rich off of it, they would shut it down .

Track what you put in v's what they have, because they won't show you your profit loss balance ever.
