That's not true. There are also Dividends.
In fact the Majority of Stock are based on Dividends.
That’s not a good example. A lot of tech companies don’t pay dividends because they aren’t yet profitable. The share price fluctuates heavily because it’s all speculative.
Longer term, profitable companies that pay consistent dividends are the bread and butter over a strong passive income generating portfolio. You can also get significant dividends just from index fund ETF.
A million dollar portfolio can easily print $30000-$50000 a year in dividends depending on how it’s allocated
Tech Companies are the outlier.
Invest in something more traditional and you'll see that they do in fact pay out dividends
That's why i said it was the majority:
The big shiny new tech ones don't, but practically everyone else does
