    Does anyone still invest anymore? I thought the stock market was a mere shadow of it’s former self, what with all the manipulation and insider knowledge diddling going on (for far too long). With cost-accounting being ignored all value is applied by using “gut feeling” or 'whatever the rube will pay" gambits.

      I started investing during the corona dip. Best financial decision of my entire life. These days, it’s an extra 20% of effortless household income and the entire portfolio value is up almost 40%.

      But even then I felt I was just too late to the party for going into crypto. Thank goodness.
