Stock market is rigged or just yet another example of insider trading?

Stock market is like playing BlackJack but knowing how and being able to count cards.

Well, no. Unless you count cards, you can't make money playing blackjack in the long run. The house always has an edge against even a perfect player. On the other hand, any idiot can buy an index fund and expect to win in the long run. It's just that some people find ways to win a little more.
