In my travels, I saw many people investing in the stock market.

I trained wealthy investors, investment specialists, people who ran investment companies, stock brokers and even someone who owned brokerage firms.

I won’t be talking about any specifics whatsoever of what I saw but I do have an opinion I’d like to share.

First, I unfortunately believe the stock market can be of huge benefit. It’s not necessity yet but, it’s contending to make such an argument.

Have you ever calculated the math on this?

It sucks.

I’ve done it a bunch of times and it’s not the most fun..

Here’s one million a few different ways:

$10,000 x 10000% = $1,000,000.

$50,000 x $2000% = $1,000,000.

$100,000 x 1000% = $1,000,000.

The only way it makes sense is from the compounding aspect which doesn’t really matter unless you can get some serious money in first.

The other thing they don’t show you in these financial curves is when you’re $750,000 takes a 3 year down tick and floats around $510,000.

Anyway, now that you’re scared, dismayed or curious, we can offer you..
