Right now my health is not so stable meanwhile I need money. I doubt I can work like many people in the near future and what I can do is make stock investment or something like that.

Since I am not a socialist let alone a communist, I would like to ask you, my communist friends, for your opinion on this. And if you have any moral advice or a better solution, I’d love to hear it.

I am sorry if my English is bad.

    It will align your interests with those of companies, since your wealth will go up and down based on company valuation.

    So if the company you work at does well because they’ve cut salaries and their stock valuation goes up, then you’ll get that dopamine hit even though you’ll be worse off overall.

    I will also tell you that the stock market returns vary greatly from 52% to -43%. So unless you’ve got the capital to weather these downturns, it’s not a good way to live.

    These percentages are also deceptive in that a return of -50% means you need a return of 100% to get back to where you were.

    I can’t tell you if it’s good or bad, because investing as a retail investor won’t change your class, but this is what you’re getting into.

    Also, if you’re not a Marxist, how did you get past the vetting?
