@DividendDynasty It is easy to believe when most people would rather invest in what is popular than what will make them money. People crave validation from others.

People on this platform trade far too much like gambling addicts. Why is it so hard for people to just do nothing and act when you have to act. Everyone just wants to feel like they're doing something all the time. I don't see many long term investors on this platform.
If you ignore all the noise and performance from other asset classes, just do valuation work, don’t panic and always stay focused on your own strategy, value investing in stocks is by far the easiest and safest way to get rich in the long run.
I got hate last time when I said nobody cares about your result when anyone, regardless of strategy, can outperform in good times. The true test of how good an investor you are is how well you do when it looks like the world might end.
“Buy a stock the way you would buy a house. Understand and like it such that you’d be content to own it in the absence of any market.” - Warren Buffett
