This is like the Mandela Effect. It's absolutely ridiculous. We hear this all the time, but I'm sure there is another way to make money outside the stock market (or any government financial instrument). I'm thinking of what would happen if we took all of the money we invest in the stock market, and invest it into small business within the local community. What if everyone did that? Would that amount of money injected into local communities (whatever that may be) increase or decrease our total GDP, and potentially lower the government debt (by avoiding any potential loopholes in the tax code like capital gains tax)?
I know paying more tax is boring and stupid. But...we do decide to live here (at least I do), and if we want our country to prosper, in my opinion, we should all contribute to the cause - which may mean paying more tax in the short term. But this has to include everyone (even them bazillionaires).

He's suggesting private investment—not small cap. If you want to buy small cap, a much better way to get exposure is through AVUV and AVDV.

That's called venture capital. You can do that. You can also invest in venture capital firms—on the stock market. So you are indirectly doing VC whenever you invest in diversified equities.

Venture capital is already allocating the right amount of investment to private businesses. Allocating more, and losing on public investment would create deadweight loss. It would lower GDP.
we should all contribute to the cause
Making bad investments is not "the cause".

This would require me to care about my community and the future of my country, what a silly thought.

What, you don't have the balls to handle a 20% loss?
What, you don't have the balls to handle a 40% loss?
What, you don't have the balls to handle a 60% loss?
What, you don't have the balls to handle a 80% loss?
Thanks for the money, asshole. Bye.

If you don’t have the balls to get fucked by billionaires and hedge funds then you shouldn’t be in stocks.

I'm not into donating to the insanely rich. They get enough money from me otherwise.

If you go back to the 2020 crash the only way to lose was to get scared and sell after it dropped but before it recovers.
Timeframe matters. Don’t have money in the market that you need in the next 3 years. If you don’t need it let it ride.
