    This is why for years now, I push back so hard on people here who are like “hey why can’t I use the power of Marxism to make money picking stocks?”. Because you can’t, first of all. But also because this stuff is really easy to be a gateway into getting hooked on just staring at red and green numbers all day while losing everything you put in.
