Should an average person be "playing" the stock market?

Is investing in the stock market a game?

And if we play the game well, will we be rich?

Should an average person play the game?



In a nutshell:

Buy index funds and keep for 20 to 30 years.

K-Green Trust: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This blog post is in response to a comment from a reader.

When was the last time I blogged about K-Green Trust? One year ago!

K-Green Trust: DPU 4.69c.

K-Green Trust seems to me to be quite lazy.

I have been waiting for them to gear up and make DPU accretive acquisitions forever! The management did not take advantage of the ultra low interest rates in the last 3 years at all to acquire assets. It is baffling.

Their portfolio of assets will run out of time gradually and some alarmists wave around banners saying "No more assets in 11 years!"

Well, not exactly. I looked at this in detail before.

I remember the Trust listed 4 assets to which it has ROFR. I will wait and see how things pan out but I could fall asleep while waiting.

Please wake me up if they buy something. Thank you.
