I agree with your second point. As to my wording on your first point, I should explain a bit more....
"Easy" means that it's not technically hard to do. For instance, anyone who's lucky enough can win 30 times their money in roulette. It's "easy", but rare - only 2-3% of people do it.
For contrast, "hard" to me would be something like trading gamma-delta option spreads.
Technically, just about any investor do the former (although they'd have to be lucky), while few can do the latter.
Final point - I consider being lucky consistently is damn near impossible (although statistically, I guess it happens to a few of the 8 billion people out there).
