Many people ask me if the US stock market is RIGGED. Absolutely, the stock market is rigged in the investor's favour.
If you go to a casino, the best odds of winning in any game is less than 50%. In the US stock market, there is a 78% probability of making money on any given year (over the last 73 years)
And if you hold US stocks over the long run, the probability of making money is 100%. This is because the gains from the up years (78% of the time) more then offsets the losses from the down years (22% of the time).
So, if you are not able to make money investing in the stock market, the problem lies in YOU (your psychology) and not the market.
