This video doesn't deliver, unfortunately. It doesn't explain HOW. That's because there's really no such thing as beating the stock market for retail investors. They're too far behind in information, data analysis and data stream accuracy to be able to beat institutional investors.
I'm surprised TED-ed didn't ask the authors to put a cautionary for individual investors. There's so many papers in the literature showing that active investors, especially the individual ones, are likely going to lose money in the long term when compared to indices. It's a little disappointing to me that TED-ed didn't editorialize this to have a more realistic message.

Another important point is that the value of a share to an investor is the combined value of the actual share and the dividend (and future dividends) that the company will pay out
Even if a company has negative assets (being in debt even when taking into account the value of its stock, property etc) the shares still have value if you believe dividends will still be paid out, even though you as an investor basically have a share of debt
Hope that vaguely makes sense

I keep getting these ads that are all saying how they quit their job, invested in the stock market, and made thousands of dollars per day and are able to work from anywhere and travel to a bajillion different places and now they have a free class on how to be like them. Thanks for telling me more about this crazy superpower or whatever.

I will have liked it, if they highlighted that short term investing is the reason so many new investors lose their money, while passive investors usually outperform by a good margin the active investors.
And never trade with options please.

I don't understand why people buy shares just to sell it to others.
Companies hardly pay dividend on the shares. I feel like companies take money from investors and then they don't give anything in return so it's pointless.
