Stock are not as safe an investment as savings plans. Why, then, do many people still buy stocks.

Bonds, CD's Saving plans all pay low interest on your money and keeps it tied up for extended periods of time. With stocks or Mutual Funds the money is somewhat a little more flexible and liquid, plus you have the opportunity to earn higher rates of interest or dividends. The interest on most saving plans doesn't even keep up with the cost of inflation, so if you leave $10,000 in a bank for one year earning 3%you will have $10,300, but the cost of inflation has risen 4% so you $10,300 is only worth $9888 in todays dollars. Your 3% gain has cost you $112 in spending power, plus the fact you couldn't get to use your money.

Yes, stocks are safe. If you open a CD at 4%, you are guaranteed that you will never earn more than 4%. Stocks have the potential to make a lot more than that.

Note: if your account earns 4% and there is 3% inflation, you still get taxed on the whole 4%, which may make your real earnings negative.

In the long run stocks are a better investment than interest bearing investments. Stock market capital gains and dividends are taxed at a lower rate ( at least here in Canada) than interest. After inflation and taxes are counted you make no profit on interest bearing accounts ( if they are taxable).


Truth and Justice
Historically stocks have yielded higher returns than other investments over a longer term (5+ years). If you can't wait 5+ years good luck. This recession could change that but I do not think so. I will decide for sure during 2009 while I watch crime rates and suicide rates. If both go up dramatically I move to Canada in 2010.

savings plans, money market accounts are safe and guaranteed, but usually pay a relatively low, fixed interest rate. stocks, while less safe, can earn quite higher interest rates when the economy is right, or the particular stock is gaining. but, as you said...greater earning possibilities also bring greater risk of loss.

Most people think of the long term rather than the short term.

I am 13 and im thinking about How to pay for College so i say to myself why not buy 1000 shares of low price stock SIRI for 15 cents and pay 150 bucks for a possible increase in price even if i made 151 dollars in the stock market i still make a profit and thats how most people think. Even if they make ONE DOLLAR more than they put into the market. They still PROFIT. People go into the market to PROFIT.
When people think about the market they think PROFIT. So what im trying to say is....its all about profit.

ROI is high here. Second every firm works on the profit principle and you invest the money belieing them. Just like your own business.

High Risk -> high Return

right now, with savings you can only earn around 1-2% a year. do you want to get higher returns? if you don't then just let ur money earn that 1-2% return a year. or u can try stocks, you might make more than 1-2%.
