Investing in S&P 500 beats gambling and other options, Russ Greene notes
S&P 500 delivers superior long-term returns

Russ Greene argues that activities such as gambling, consuming short-form videos, watching adult content, listening to podcasts, and using drugs cannot deliver the sustained total returns provided by the S&P 500.

He encourages individuals to invest in stocks, emphasizing the advantages of participating in long-term equity markets over alternative pursuits.

Greene has previously noted shifts in private market trends, reporting that private equity multiple expansion fell to just 8% of value creation in 2025. He has also observed demographic dynamics, stating that seniors with incomes over $100,000 now collect over a third of Social Security benefits. His recent comments continue his focus on investment returns and market participation.
