You ASSUMED I was (and I quote. ) "quite wealthy"

I said I wasn't. THEN you said

"why does someone who lacks money to invest?" in reference to me...

The logical fallacy is obvious.

According to you, either I am (quite) Wealthy or I "lack money to invest"

When I refuted your fallacious assumption that i was the former, I instantly switched to the latter state in your mind.

The logical fallacy is called "excluding the middle"

You are either being obtuse or simply playing games.

I'll repeat

1) it's not about ME. you MADE it about me. I was talking about the markets
2) The state of being NOT Wealthy is not equivalent to the state of "not having money to invest"

I'm not going to tell you how much money I have in my trading and investment accounts, but suffice it to say that in the real world (tm) it is entirely possible to be neither WEALTHY nor in a situation where you "lack money to invest" at all.

There is a rather large (to put it mildly) middle.
