In the long run it always goes up. It’s actually kinda the opposite of when you’re at the casino where in the long run the house always wins

the stock market goes up, yes, but not all stocks survive. investing in an index is dependent on the us as a whole surviving still, but investing in individual things is literally gambling, absolutely no guarantee it goes up at any point

also investing in the stock market at all is gambling that you wont need that money, and in the instance of a market crash you might NEED that money, which at that point has shriveled up and died because you bet on what crashed
