putting money in penny stocks is like gambling, but if you have a sensible plan and actually do some research and invest with good companies it isnt gambling, its investing |

No. If you dont win the lottery at that drawing, the ticket is worthless. It has no underlying value. The only thing that gives that piece of paper value is winning the money. When you invest you own a share of a company with assets that have an underlying value. |

No, I don't equate "investing" with gambling.
Stocks go up and down, but safe, long-term, blue-chip stocks usually go up over time.
Diversifying your assets is a hedge against inflation and the all too important, "same eggs in the basket" scenario.
Warren Buffet once said, "Snickers bars have been around forever, and everybody likes them." That's a safe stock company. You may not make much money short-term, but will most likely make money over time if you invest in it.
Putting one hundred dollars into an investment like Snickers, is not even close to being the same as buying one hundred lottery tickets at odds of one in one hundred million that you picked 6 exact matching numbers. |

It isn't, for a number of reasons.
1) Most importantly, over the long term stocks do tend to actually go up. For example the Dow Jones went from 43 to 12,000 over the course of the 20th century. If investing was a zero sum game (ie where there was a loser for every winner) then the index wouldn't have changed.
2) Stocks are not merely numbers that fluctuate at random. Instead they are ownership stakes in corporations, which have intrinsic value, and which change along with the fortunes of various companies. If, for example, I buy stock in Apple I am buying that stock because I believe the company has a bright future and is selling at an inexpensive price relative to the cash it produces. I am not merely picking a number and crossing my fingers. |

Investing in shares in not gambling, but there are lot of investers, who likes gambling & invest in penny stocks to earn faster. Never do it without your own reaserch.
Investment in good shares gives decent return in long term. |

from getting out of bed in the morning to putting your money in a bank, or buying stocks or lottery tickets, there are associated probabilities of doing well and not doing well. For investments these probabilities can be calculated, if one trusts historical information. Stocks and lotteries often take little work on the part of the investor. Both are used to help an institution with its finances ( state or corporate institution) This is where the similarity ends.
Stocks are much more likely to give you a return on your investment than a typical state lottery. Statisticains multiply the probabaility of success times the return on investment to determine the rate of return and compare investments. If you had 10 dollars or a billion dollars to invest in buying lottery tickets it would still likely be a losing proposition, while investing in stocks would likely be a winning proposition. |

Actually it has become a lot more like gambling than it used to be -- people hold stocks/funds for a much shorter period of time than they did in the past. That has introduced more of a casino environment to the market. However, the individual investor doesn't have to play that game. Know what you're investing in and why then don't make a change until conditions change, which could be several years. |

NO. When your lotto ticket is a looser, you have really lost that money. Where as if a stock price goes down one day, there is the probability it will increase to a far greater value in the future. Your odds of winning at the lottery is a lower chance than picking a stock winner. During a bull market, about 70% of the stocks are going up. During a bear market about 30% are going up. With education time, anyone can learn technical analysis to improve the odds of selecting stocks that will be winners. It is easy to make more than 20% per year.These are far better odds than buying a lottery ticket. Yes, there is risk involved in the stock market. But with education you can place the odds on your side. You cannot do that in lottery which is truely a game of pure chance. |
