Every decade, a new generation calls the stock market GAMBLING… after losing money in it. What do you guys think??

There’s a pattern no one talks about. Every 10–15 years, a wave of people enters the market with the same mindset of ***this is my chance to get rich faster.*** And every time, a large chunk of them leaves with the same conclusion of ***the market is gambling***\*.\*

Then they pass that belief to the next generation. Look back:

***Early 1900s***: speculation bubbles and crashes.
***2000:*** dot-com euphoria wiped out many first-time investors.
***2008:*** global crisis hit those who had just started earning and investing.
***2020:*** easy money, lockdown trading, everything going up… followed by reality checks.

Different eras but that same psychology. And the group that gets hit the hardest is almost always the same: People between 25–40.

Why them?????

Because that’s when income starts and when surplus money appears and ambition is highest. ***They come in to accelerate.*** What starts as investing slowly shifts into trading. And somewhere in that transition, ***risk quietly explode*****s.** Losses don’t just take away money they also distort perception.

Instead of questioning behaviour, people question the market itself. ***It’s all manipulated/gambling and not for people like us.*** And the cycle continues.

Markets reward discipline, time, and process but every generation tries to shortcut that and every generation pays tuition for it.
