What makes you think "trump" is the stock market? The graves of investors have been dug with political shovels.

It matters because we make it matter. It's psychological anchoring and it's a very real thing.

>uncritical adoration Really? Hacker News comments are uncritical adoration? I'd weight the cynicism and perma-contrarianism a tad bit higher. In fact, I believe the success of a startup is inversely proportional to the amount of ha

The best use cases I think of are definintely not "first world problems." Places with no banking infrastructure. Places with bad government. Places with capital controls.

I didn't say 10k was total capital base, just deployment for a trade. And leverage exists so you can get higher percentage returns on your capital. I'm just saying it's possible, that's all.

>But if the parents in the office are more productive with their children close by As someone who works from home with a toddler on the other side of the door, I'll go ahead and challenge that assumption.

There is growth investing and there is value investing. One isnt the end-all, and both have merits. I am more of the growth side of things so i will look at a metric like price to sales or sales growth to get a better idea on what investors
