Investing in index is like subscribing for slavery. It only benefits people with tons of money. Sure, it's less risky. But along with preventing massive downside, it prevents massive upside too. I've just got 1 life, limited time and I want to risk everything for a massive upside, not efficient market.

I'd think investing all your money in playing the lottery opens up a much bigger upside. Sure, it's more risky, but you've just got 1 life!
I am thinking more along the line of Hedge Funds and angle investing in startups than lottery which is not an investment!
Wait... are you trying to tell me that scratch tickets aren't essentially the same thing as stock certificates?
I'm just saying, don't subscribe for slavery!
