If you’ve held it until now you haven’t made any money either. The money is made once you actually sold, your “gainz” could be gone next time you log in.

Am I the only one who thinks we make enough that gambling on stock isn't worth it? Like, you can either wager tens of thousands of dollars to get a return of xyz, or just go to work on one day of premium to make the same.

Probably not the only one, but you’ll likely outlive your money without equities or a comparably performing investment vehicle.

Earning a day of premium here and there isn’t the same as earning multiples of your annual income on average market returns.

So, to be clear here, you don’t invest and believe that picking up a premium trip here and there will be an equivalent sum to compound investing over your career?

Hopefully that isn't what he meant. I do think it's worth pointing out that you already rely on the airline for your paycheck, it might be prudent to invest your savings in something else regardless of your opinion of the bright future of the business.
