My Friend Is Beating Me

First I'll comment on your friend. Reading this reminded me of something Mark Twain once said, “It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly succeed when the informed and the experienced fail.” This perfectly describes the stock market. The experience your friend is having in Facebook is the reason why millions of people show up to play this game every day. The potential exists for somebody without any skill or knowledge to make a lot of money, which entices the amateur and frustrates the professional.
