That is perfectly true. Although throughout the last few decades with out exceptionally shitty economy (with the rare exception of 2017-2019) stocks go up 5% and then they go down 10%, on perpetual repeat, so you're always losing unless you're on the inside know.
Although ups and downs occur along the way, the stock market has more than tripled since 2000. I, unfortunately, went with the most conservative investment plan, and missed out on that tripling.
Better than the interest rate offered at even the highest interest online banks (about 4.5% right now.)
That's 4.5% on an annual basis. These stocks are up 4-6% in what, one day?
