I agree, the system is rigged against the little guy. None of us are going to get the inside deals like Gordon Gecko but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy nice gains in the market. The unpredictability of the market is why we need to play the long game. Regular contributions over the course of years (if not decades) is what builds wealth. Avoid individual stocks and buy stuff that's diversified.
