In an incredibly basic sense: buy low, sell high. As we live in a capitalist society, this is the way things work.

Those who choose to slave away as workers are only generating profit for their overlords

What do I buy low and sell high?

You simply need a diversified portfolio of assets, then you do shorts but don't do puts or something.

I actually have no idea what any of that means, but I have a friend who does stocks stuff and that's the sort of thing he says lol.

Isn't the banana market run by cartels now?

I'm not telling you to do anything. You are the master of your own self

So gamble? The only proven way to reliably make money on investing are things like index funds, which you will need a fair amount of starting capital to make a living off of.

I'm not talking about stocks. I'm talking about literally anything that people will pay money for, which is a lot of stuff. You can even make the stuff or get it for free, vastly increasing your profit margins.
