No - You're wrong and the person you're replying to is right.

Futures are how you multiply your money with relatively low risk. Stocks are how you get 5% returns amortized YOY if you're lucky

Yeah I wonder why on earth is any professional trader doing anything else rather than methods described. Those amateurs, right? Money sitting there for free... give me a break.

I don't need to be a finance expert to know when somebody sells a snake oil - things that sound too good to be true most often are.
