You have asked a very controversial question!

Perhaps you should have some tea and cookies and get the blood sugar level up.No one said anything about "how traders make money" That isn't relevant.The comparison is how the average Joe or Joette tries to accumulate enough capital to invest in the market through a 401(k) and how much relative time it takes now compared to 1971 - hardly controversial If you reread the 1st post, it took 250 hours in 1971 to accomplish what now takes 1,077 hours.

“Let’s celebrate the loss of the Lucas Museum”“Editorial: Ugly parking lot victorious over Lucas Museum”“Lucas Museum Chicago: Losing the Museum Would be Bad for Chicago”"Lucas Museum drops plan to build in Chicago""Here's what you could have won: Lucas Museum breaks ground in LA""George Lucas Strikes Back: Inside the Fight to Build the Lucas Museum"A while ago when the downtown transformation was taking place (and it still is) we almost rented an apartment above the Ralphs grocery store on the corner of Hope Street and 9th.
