exactly. If you're engaging in a market, realize that approximately 90% of active participants will lose money in an efficient market.

A strange game. The most likely winning move is... not to play.

  • It’s weird - my peers always say I’m stupid for not investing my idle money in the various (stock) markets and the gains they show seem to confirm that - but ITT the sentiment seems to be quite different.

    To be honest i cant be bothered is the real reason I don’t play but maybe it’s the winning move?

  • I think the comment was to not play actively.

    It's like arguing with God: he's got better info that you.

is 10% winner random or skill ?

  • Some random, some skill. The more people are following formulaic advice, the more opportunity there is to take their money with skill.
