investing is a scam and nothing beats hard work and saving your money one dollar at a time. that is how you get truly rich, in both money and character.

This picture is disgusting. The man holding the "pledge" is a fucking actor. He does not 'work', he does not do labor. He is playing a character.

I made six figures in stock gains this year. You're just a gambler. You're supposed to invest in solid companies and just hold if you don't know what you're doing.

That doesn't really make what he's saying wrong. The people he's describing are absolutely necessary for our society to function in its current form. There's an argument for robotics eventually making manual labour obsolete, but we're not even close to that point yet.

Hard work and saving your money is important, but so is growing your wealth with intelligent investing and (mostly) passive income.

Ya... you were probably way over-leveraged thinking "green line goes up forever" completely naive of the fact that a 1% correction will liquidate you. Also, leveraged options trading isn't the only form of investing, lol
