There's 3 ways to use money to make money: 1) Gamble - options, memecoins, sports betting, casinos. The only way to turn $100 into $1M overnight. 2) Trading - pick single stocks and hope you buy low, sell high. Can make 100-200% / year in a good market. Requires intelligence, patience, and confidence. 3) Investing - index funds, bonds, real estate. 0-10% gains / year at best. But very safe. Which one are you?
