The map isn't supposed to be the terrain; Generating wealth isn't the same as generating money, and the stock market seems to exist almost entirely for the latter, at the cost of the former.

We're in a situation where playing in the market is a better strategy than using the market for its legacy purposes (you know, buying partial ownership in companies) and the number of financial tools created specifically to exploit the ability of wealth to generate additional wealth vastly out match everything else.

Anyway I've got paperhands and bailed on my positions days ago by following some old WSB advice that's actually worth while - "take your profits when you want to"
