It is sort of brilliant (thanks btw) but also stupid to think about. It is easy for people to simply put a sensible monthly amount in a low cost fund and given enough time and steady contributions make life changing amounts of money (early retirement, house upgrade, child’s school or college paid for etc). And all without needing to take a big bet at any point.
You are welcome:)
This works as long as everything is good and stable, at least with the economy. But in the long run (decades), it still works. You just have to survive.
