I like to think that it's being long on Capitalism.
- lr4444lr 9y agoThat's exactly what it is, if not going long on human society itself. So far I've found, without fail, that everyone with a strong distrust of the stock market as something "rigged" or a belief that it's somehow an "expendable" part of investing that doesn't affect them has an objectively very poor to non-existent understanding of even basic facts of economic and business activity. Much poorer than I do, at any rate, and I don't really know that much.
