RE: The history of markets is often cyclical

not everybody can win or lose.

Some investments are zero-sum games, where the winners can only earn what others are losing. Others, are non-zero-sum games, however. For example, the stock markets: There the companies are producing value, the full market grows with the economy. The total wealth of all investors is increasing in the long term.

Hi @deathcross

the total wealth of all investors is increasing in the long term.

This is necessary to understand, very necessary. To think that everything will happen very quickly, I think that is what makes many lose. Thank you for commenting.
