I didn’t mean to say it wasn’t hard work, it just seems to me since stocks usually go up if you buy any stock, you should make money statistically long term. I’ve learned to avoid the small caps and stick with large caps and not sell when it goes down because it will go up some day. So if there is a market crash, just hold and don’t sell and a few years later you should be back. Buying chip and software stocks and FANG is the way to go I think. Playing it safe with large dividend stocks was a big mistake. I only know how to buy stocks and hold long term. No idea how to do options and don’t want to even try.
