Hey guys ive been doing alot of research with investing and read some books and done alot of online things with learning about it. Ive been thinking alot and talking to my dad which is a used car salesman as a side job and does insurance as a regular job. We were talking after i sold my first car. I bought it a month ago for 800 dollars and turned and sold it for 1300 a month later. So it took me one month to make 500 dollars on only 800 dollars. So he brought up the question why invest all this money in a mutual fund or etf or stocks when you can get returns like that? He usually makes a thousand on each car he sells and sells about 3-4 a month when he only has like 5. So if i can buy one and drive for free wihtout licensing it and all that jazz and then turn and sell it and make atleast 500 bucks on it how is that not better than long term investing? If i just kept doing that?
