Tom S | Why do people invest in stocks? |
They provide up front capital and funds to companies, yet shareholders are the first ones screwed by companies when times are tough, when it comes to profit sharing, or decision making.
So why do investors help companies, when companies do little or noting in return for their common shareholders. |

Because of their returns on your money invested. Historically Stocks have returned about 9-11% over the long haul
Bonds about 4-6%
cash about 2-4%
Certainly stocks have a higher risk of failing than the other two but when you win you make more IF you keep your money in for the LONG RUN.
The smart investers have money in all 3 CLASSES in order to DIVERSIFY THIER RISKS.
If you are younger 50 or less you should have more Stocks than Bonds and cash if you can be comfortable with that.
Over 55 most smart investors maybe are looking at a 50/50 split between stocks and bonds.
Even when you are retired you need to invest in stocks in order to beat INFLATION which will eat up your low return on Bonds or cash alone. REMEMBER now days once you retire you may live 25 to 35 years longer so you much still invest for the long turn and you will need some stocks to help preserve your nest egg. ( 20 to 40% maybe)
INFLATION OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD IS VERY SIGNIFICANT SO STOCKS ARE YOUR BEST WEAPON. |

10 years ago, Apple's share is 10 bucks each. Today it's $169. You go figure |

Ask that to people who invested in Microsoft or Walmart or Berkshire Hathaway early on. They are all filthy rich for having invested as little as $10,000 in their IPO's. |

History shows more return on stock as compared to banks, PPF, etc.
So people take risk and invest in stocks.
Dont invest in companies where you think gowl!
Invest in where there is more investments of promoters. That is solution for you! |

Because they do not have their own business to invest in, The stock market is a roll of the dice. I have always invested in myself, it's a much better bet. Read my profile. |

people think that some or the other day the company is gonna give good returns when they buy stocks from that company ............and people usually buy stock from such companies as the stock price is very low.Remember one thing nobody helps unless they expect something from you if its not today tomorrow...may be after a year |

That's because, historically, investing in shares and stocks has given the best returns, even better than property. |

I bought my companies stock back in 1986. Twenty-one years later, I sold it for 20 times what it was worth. You think I would have made that kind of return in a savings account at the bank?? If you want to grow your money over taxes & inflation, then investing in stock is the way to go.
Of course when times get tough, companies do little to nothing for the common shareholders. The shareholder is the owner. When a company goes thru hard times, so does the owner (shareholder). Why would you expect anything less?? |
