Have you ever gotten distracted and started thinking about some random bullshit during sex, after only a few minites, despite being very attracted to and in love with your sexual partner? Imagine if that happened every time and how it would affect your relationship. What would your partner say? Now imagine it happened again while you and your partner were discussing the issue.

You aren't morally obligated to do anything, you can go live in a hut in the plains of Montana if you want. But people with ADHD who seek treatment appreciate the efforts of the medical professionals who help them.

Before we talk about forcing people to go on drugs they don't want, let's get to a place where society lets everyone who could benefit from treatment at least have the option of receiving it.

Idea: a marketing/e-commerce company that takes existing unbranded consumer products, invents generic startup names for them (Noun & Noun), and resells each on its own simple, well-designed site with hipster aesthetic. Piggyback on Amazon fulfillment. Get better margin by reusing the same tech and overhead on each site. Employ low-paid "founders" who can tell a good story but don't have any particular business skill to create some marketing material to try to build buzz for "their" startup. The 2016 version of the dropshipping hustle.

Out of curiosity - do you get some kind of template version of the earnings report before it is released so you can parse the numbers? Are they just always worded the same way? Or do they broadcast the numbers directly somehow?

There are a lot of dumb traders, sure, but that doesn't mean that dollar-weighted average investor (the one filling your order) is dumb.

I claim that the top 20% (as specified in the headline) could not be reasonably described as "essentially nobody". And the article you linked two posts ago found that more than 20% of funds beat the market.

This evidence all suffers from the problem that you are trying to prove a very difficult claim. Information about averages won't help you here.

But does the broker give you free Pina Coladas?

So he beat one particular hedge fund, that hardly proves that "essentially no traders beat the performance of index funds long-term."
