<prompt> Human: The stock for Dollar Tree was 845 profitable from 2006 to 2016.So if you bought 100 stocks at the time, it would cost you 800 USD.Then you wait 10 years and it becomes one of the most profitable stocks. Problem is that it would turn your 800 USD investment in only 8.000 USD. Hardly a millionaire but you hear stories of people starting from nothing and turning millionaires in some years.Even if you invested, 8.000 usd, it would turn just in 80.000 USD. So what am I not understanding here about the stock market? Are all those stories of people that start with nothing and turn millionaries just fiction?  <response>: By investing 100000 over several years.
