I have friend that said it 13 years ago. If you wanna be rich, make yourself the middle man. You can try to open a public company, market it, find investors, and hopefully you’ll eventually run a profit and the stock value will go up. Or, you can be an investor making money by buying stock that provide good dividends and go up in value. But, the best position is in the middle exchanging the stock. You don’t have to convince others to invest and run a company that is successful when competing with others. You don’t have to investigate and guess which companies will be profitable while competing with millions of other investors, banks, and AI. Nope. You just sit back and relax while people fight each other on the battlefield field you created.
Those are the people that make it. They insert themselves in a situation where others fight but they win regardless of who else wins.
Ford or Chevy? Oil wins
Chrome or Edge? Google wins
Facebook or Instagram? Meta wins
Plaintiff or defendant? Lawyers win
Pay off home loan or foreclose? Lender wins
Thousands of IPOs? Market-makers win
England or France? Rothchilds win
Russia or Ukraine? Military industrial complex wins
Which is part of our bigger issue going on right now. People know that being a middle man that takes a cut is the easy profit and everyone with enough money to try is doing it.
