  yeah, that’s the whole point of the game. “trading” is the one that will not work in the long term. staying in the index fund is the good option.

  the two lines are certainly harder/confusing to follow, i preferred the absolute numbers at the top. the preachy thing is certainly a choice, i do want to make a point with this. the whole thing is based on that tone of voice. i hear you, it’ll turn some people off and i think i’m ok with it. appreciate the honest feedback.

  there’s opportunity in trading. but to assume you’ll get the benefit is very similar to assuming you’ll beat the casino. it’s possible, but unlikely, especially in the long term.

  at the core it, it’s a fun little game and not much more a lot of people do “chart reading” to predict the market and this kind of pokes fun at that

  the idea is trying to time the market (whether buying or selling) is very hard and the s&p500 usually wins over the mid-to-long run

  and the other playing a couch is just to show how little of an effort it takes to make more money than trading - an inanimate object in an index fund can outperform you.
