My grow houses have a better and faster roi than most stocks. And I'm a black man, original and not a sub human crakker.
The stock market is superficial as fukk

It's designed by and for crakkers and crakker mindsets. I studied fiance at a top devil university, so yup I have a slight devil mindset about money, so I used to have stocks.

But actually producing something is better. Having businesses or saving is better and more natural.
.

For me its not fear it's avoidance

a stock is basically owning a part of a business
so what is really the difference
most businesses fail in the first few yrs just like most stocks dont do well

You have more control if you own a Business as opposed to being a small part owner among thousands

Nobody tunes in to fukking stock holder calls or meetings.... at least I dont.

It's somebody else's company and Not yours is the difference

I don't like the way Vlad was trying to discourage home ownership...

He's look thru some white supremacist lenses. I do wish Dr. Boyce Watkins checked him on that and not half-agreed with him.

Biggest thing IMO for blacks is LOSS

We already broke as a people, so many of us will not take that chance in it

I've read plenty of books on it, but I have trust issues when it comes to my money.. so I stick with my 401k investments and some acorn where my change investment is working excellent


So for you its not the lack of knowledge but the possibility of failure...makes sense. I think for most black Americans its simply a lack or understanding the guidelines involved. Plus many consider it to be a " white" thing. Having the lack of money to invest adds into it as well.

Talk down on black people on a white dudes couch brehs.
Exactly...these "intellectuals" sure do generalize entire bodies of people a lot:mjlol:...many black people don't use the stock market because many don't know the route to it or how it works, what he's saying is black people don't take gambles or risks because slavery scarred optimism out of them...that's fukkin false:camby:. Nikkas gamble heavy and take LOTS of chances...sadly it's just the chances they understand. But here he go with his white daddy complex with white slave owners he's never met:skip:it's disgusting:scust:.


Stop giving dead clowns false acknowledgment ...old slave masters have nothing to do with black men's psyche today...get off that shyt:martin:


(Dudes be thinkin they keepin it real, but really they keepin it extra weak):trash:

the liquidity of a stock compared to owning your own business is what gives you the control

Me and my wife have roth accounts. You couldn't tell me to not invest. Too many of you niccas want shyt to happen overnight, doesn't happen like that. You should be invested in dividend paying companies and strong bluechip companies. If you cannot touch your roth until you are 59.5 years old, then don't look to get rich quick. I'd invest as much as I could into a Roth yearly and get a duplex to start. I'd like to know, do any niccas that oppose what he is saying have a proven alternative?

What Vlad was saying made perfect sense. Basically he was saying it's not for everyone. He's not discouraging it at all. Once you sign those papers that's it. Ownership isn't for everyone, the numbers have to be right. Where you niccas get this white supremacy shyt from in regards to the conversation

...ownership isn't for everyone huh :mjpls:

...that's that subtle scare tactic bullshyt to keep people in the community from striving to have more. It just smells funny with how, matter-of-fact, he came across. It was real subtle...
