Investment-Final

The speaker advises against gambling with stocks, crypto, or casinos, as many people, including themselves, have lost money in these investments. They believe the stock market is rigged and points out that the government allows individuals to write off losses in the stock market on their taxes. The speaker suggests investing in oneself instead, by buying nice things, investing in knowledge, and taking risks on personal ideas and goals. They believe that gambling on oneself will be the best investment one can make. Listen, if I can give you some advice on making a fast buck in your career, I would say the best investment you can make is yourself. And don't gamble on others. Don't gamble with stocks. Don't gamble with crypto. Don't gamble in casinos. Don't invest with other people or businesses. I say that because I've made a lot of money from my past jobs and businesses, but my greatest weakness, along with millions of people, is losing money in stocks, businesses, and crypto. You think stocks are good because they are backed up by companies and the government and 401k? Did you forget 2008 when millions of people lost their homes and their life savings? I think the stock market is rigged. Let me ask you something. Did you know that the government will give you money if you lose in the stock market? It's true. If you lose $3,000 this year in the stock market, you can write it off in your taxes and you get that $3,000 back. So you can do this for up to 10 years and write it all off. So that's $30,000 you can write off for free. Now why would the government let you write off this money that you lose gambling in the stock market? Do you think they're part of the game? It's kind of like a casino that we're in, and you know what they say, the house always wins if that's the case. So hey, let me tell you something. If you want to gamble, I would say gamble on yourself. Gamble on you. Spend some money on you. Buy those fancy clothes. Buy the nice car. Invest in your knowledge. Invest in your ideas. Go to school. Learn to trade. Buy the tools and resources you need to succeed, and I would say roll the dice on you and see the outcome. I bet you it'll be the best investment you'll ever make.
