脫貧

strategically,

there are quicker ways, there are steadier ways,

but all come to one point, can you assess value? can you assess how market accesses the value? can you assess if the market's assessment is right or wrong?

if you understand this point, the difference of many seemingly vastly different strategies are different only on some technical details, like time frame, leverage level, instruments, etc.

------------------
tactically,

the easiest way to gain wealth is always to join the people that are producing wealth,

do you know who are producing wealth, and how and why? if you don't, then study. Since this is _the_ question. If you can't even find this one, then even someone can help you with one answer at one time, that answer may get obsolete soon.

take the most obvious example. Chinese people are producing wealth at one of the highest rates in human history. Did you join them? You did? Great, you passed the exam already. You didn't, then think really really hard why you didn't see the elephant just in front of you.

(how you did, either via real estate or stock market or other means are not too important, at the end things more or less equal out... this is a secondary question, at level of "ways", compared to the first one which is at the least of "direction",)

now let's look other example, smaller or maybe closer to us... what about BHP, what about XOM... what about GOOG, what about AAPL... or what about GS, hey, it's stock is on sale now, wouldn't it be nice to have supposedly some of the smartest and most hard working people on the planet working hard for you?

-------------------

so that's the key word in my view of the success in wealth building: "people, produce", or together, "productive people", either be one yourself, or find a way to

join them!
