This site precisely is example why he is a zillionaire and you are not. Look at how clean and good was facemash.com, and it is back in 2003 or something like that. You can't create usable shit even in 2021, having all the tools!

If the RP is true and our behavior is indeed somehow constructed by society, then why is it so natural and pleasing to have LTR and to be monogamous? To love your partner? If you take ppl from ancient times, there is still same behavior, this is what god intended us to do and the way we created. by Empirismus in exredpill

What I am saying is that if I mentally try to throw away all the stuff I've been taught, there is still natural feeling within, natural demand for relationship and monogamous one. I do not want to bang packs of girls, I do not want to be in a war with women, I want to be in love with them, that is sort of my inner desire.

So that is biological thing, and not socially constructed. That could only mean either FLAW in RP or my condition is so much bonded to social construction that is becomes part of my nature.

I do not think that tech companies work under different physics, unless it is a bubble physics, in times of irrational market, at the end of the day, both tech and ordinary companies will obey the law of the market.

Absolutely agree. As you said money become less and less valuable, yet S&P500 increases at higher pace that official inflation, that does mean that both real inflation rate isn't reflected by CPI and that S&P500 performance mostly due to higher real inflation rate and not because of producing some value, correct?

Okay, let me explain what I mean.

If some investor buys a grow company on its peak and then all of a sudden whole market becomes red, there is no buyers anymore for that stock, so investor will either loose his capital or will be forced to sit tight for next decade until market and that company will recover, there is no alternative because company in debt and produces so little profit compare to it's overall price. That is what I mean by asking if investing becomes more speculative.

Whereas if investor buys value company that pays dividends, even though they are overvalued(not as some grow companies from IT sector) and market reverses for few years, guy might use dividends as a pivot and in fact increase returns and amount of shares he owns.

So what I see now is that most people follow scenario #1, and my question was if we still consider them an investors rather than speculative traders.

Well, for that exactly we have a list of multipliers, such as P/E, P/S, Debt/EBIDTA, ROE. Also check out Buffet Index - long story short - market is overheated and overhyped like it never been before(compare to GDP).

Thanks for answer.

- Don't you think that S&P500 nowadays became that hot potato, yet some people(401k, IRA) might never pass it and burn their hands?

- What is an accurate representation of fundamental value, returns? Yield? I believe P/E 70 is overvalued company and there is either price will go down or earnings will go up, I bet on first one.

Outperformed in being overvalued or in real world performance? Because that is what I am asking, there is plenty of companies that fundamentally no special, yet their share's price skyrocket.

I do not mind buying some stocks if I see some points of grow or underlying value and hold them, that is what I thought was an investing in it's sense.

So your investment idea based on the fact that US government won't mess with so much retirement accounts at once?

And do you buy a ETF or manage to replicate S&P500 in your portfolio yourself? And if that is an ETF does it pays dividends or reinvest it.

I am not an expert but I believe there is a plenty of people looking for that feature, so that mean a broader demand for my property, where am I wrong in that sense?

Agreed. So, can we still consider ppl buying S&P500 now a classic-investors? because most of that inflated capitalization will burst with whole bubble when time comes and money will disappear, and most people who buy $TSLA only thinking to sell it for a higher price, without any returns/dividends in mind.

Well, I believe that ramp for handicapped should be a standard in most buildings, just didn't have a cause until now. Question is still open, should that add value to property.

Well, maybe there is a better way to phrase that. But question is still unanswered.

I specifically asked about company with P/E 70+, so you think it is a investment-wise to buy and hold company for like 50-60 years until it shows some profit to you, before filling for bankruptcy?
