AmigaJoe | Playing the stock is basically gambling, right? |
Every news story I hear about the market mentions 'nervous investors', 'jittery investors', 'worried investors', etc. Apparently people are always sitting poised, ready to yank out of the market at the first hint of trouble. If the market is a gamble, then people aren't playing it with the rent money right? The why are they always so scared? |

if you r lazy and dont do your homework then its gambling. if youre smart and do the research it can sometimes be very close to a sure thing.
people are scared because when the markets go down, most people lose money. nobody wants to lose money. |

It's more like educated gambling, more stylish, you can compare the gamblers in Atlantic City, and those who are on the floors of stock exchange, you'll see the difference. Also, it's not as risky because you can read the annual reports of the listed companies, keep track of information about the companies, know how the CEOs work, the business style etc. I like the word "speculative" better. |

Playing the stock market CAN BE gambling. Or it can be investing. Depends on which stocks you buy, and when you sell.
> Then why are they always so scared?
Some people have put money into investments that are greater risk and greater volatility than their "risk tolerance." Some people have invested the retirement money, in hopes of a better return than a money market fund. |

Yeah it almost is, not quite. You can bet your money on a stock but you almost always get about 5 dollars a month or someting back. You're betting on buisness of a store or job doing well. The reason why the pple are scared is because you have to bet at least 500 dollars on a share hold. Some people bet higher than 15 thousand on a sharehold. And they expect to get that money back but if the stock isn't doing well there is no chance of getting it back in less than a few years. |

I think people get nervous because they weren't prepared for the inevitable volatility of the market. There are a lot of stories about those that got rich in the stock market. Or the stock that gained 200%. This creates a get rich quick mentality that turns to fear when they get a good dose of stock market reality. |
