Not everybody can fucking participate, Vijay.

Also, you can't do basic arithmetic.

Well based on the principle of compounding interest I think that number might be right. It really kind of depends on your returns every month.

His logic flaw here is that millions gamble on startups like that and hindsight is very much 20/20.

Buying stocks is kind of like sports betting for a different target audience this way.

That’s why you’re only supposed to invest in successful ideas, duh.

It's always a good idea, before investing in any company, to call the head office and say "I need a straight answer, so don't give me the runaround: will you fail?". If they say "no", it is a safe investment. If they say "yes", it is not quite as safe an investment but you may still want to invest.

Before investing, freeze the company's CEO in a block of ice. If you still want to invest after chipping them out of the ice, it's probably a worthy investment.
