The higher prices you pay for stocks, the more risky it is to buy them. But if you buy stocks at basement bargain prices, then usually you will make money provided that you wait long enough.
If you bought stocks when NASDAQ was near 5000 in the year 2000. Then you would be in a loosing position even now.
But if you bought stocks when NASDAQ was near 1100 in the year 2003. Then you would be in a profitable position even now. |

It depends. First, how much you invest, if your'e willing to be in it for long term, how well you research companies that you would like to invest in, etc. My Grandpa invested in oil companies many years ago. I wish I had invested in Microsoft stock when I was younger. But many do fail and you can lose. I invested in 6 companies about 10 years ago, sold the stock and made money on all 6. If I had held onto it I would have made more on 4 of the companies. |

I believe you have the wrong impression. The stock market when properly invested in using an assets allocation model that applies your individual risk tolerances to your investments will provide you as the investor with a risk equivalent return. |

The stock market is risky in the short to medium term but in the long term it's a great way to make money.If you are going to need your money in only a couple years-forget it-put the money in the bank.Then think about your personal risk tolerance-how much risk are you willing to take with your money.And diversify-don't buy 1 stock-if you have limited funds stick to a mutual fund or an etf. |

I agree with Robert W. In the short run, stocks are very risky. If you don't have at least a 3-5 year time horizon on the investment you should not consider investing in the stock market.
Here is the question you should ask yourself. If you invest now and your investment goes down, say by 10, 15 or 20 percent - how would you feel? All investors need to really ask themselves this very imporant question. If the answer is that you NEVER WANT TO LOSE PRINCIPLE THAN STOCKS ARE NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER.
But, if you are willing to ride through the enviable ups and downs and stick with equities for the long term than stocks are less risky than bonds because the real return (i.e. return after inflation) on stocks has historically been superior to bonds.
I hope this helps! |

You do not have the wrong impression because alot of people do get involved in the stock market without learning about it or how they should invest. But it has been proven that investing in the stock market has proven the greatest return over any other asset class. If you take time to learn about the stock market and the businesses in them you can create a lot of wealth

We are rewarded for risk and for that reason you have to be sure you have a tolerance for risk.
Study the market and do some investing with money that you can afford to lose or just paper trade for a while. You will gain confidence with experience. If you are afraid of risk then put your money in low risk investments such as bank certificates of deposit. |

Short term yes unstable and risky. In the long term it has always grown. Historically that is the case. The Motley Fool has a good 101 of lessons learned. Right now with the market down it is a good time to invest money. Don't gamble but try and make sound decisions. Companies like Coke, Proctor and Gamble, Verizon, Apple and others are stable investments. The stories you hear about people making millions exist but they are investing in solid companies with good financial. Motley Fool has solid recommendations. |
