The stock market is made to inherently go up by default.

That's why holding individual stocks long typically has better returns than trading (more certainty on longer horizons).

This country will never get rid of inflation or the debt, but this ensures the market will continue upwards until the end of our economy.

I do swing trade, but we live in a very unique time I think. Some of these stocks will balloon like bitcoin. Like dot com, many companies will fail and go under. But there will be mad acquisitions and winners in our lifetime if you find good concepts, take a risk, and hold.
