Stock r not what it seem to be

it's a target for the average folk who have money trying to make more money. greed can actually cost you all your saving in the long run. If you're the kind that think you can easiy make money from stock you're very wrong. As you can see it being controlled by the big corp, marketer, broker, and firm who sole intend is to drain you dry as a dust. Just look at it as a slot machine, you lost is their gain. you're gain is someone's lost but you only get a small percentage which make you happy temporarily until you lose it till then you quit cause once you lose it will continue like downward syndrome like smoking a cigar you just don't quit till you lose all. we're been lied by the media and the marketer, what behind them are a bunch of crook working behind this evil scheme for easy buck off unsuspecting people like us who have to bust their butt to make money and it easy money for them. Most of us are pretty much unknowledgeable when it come to stock because of it complexity and the false claim of many website of making easy buck for a fee or offering to buy certain stock for a high montly fee ranging from 20-200 buck, it absurd how these crook or should i say leecher live off of people who earn their money the hardway. Is this what they mean by saying work smarter not harder, hehehe now I see what they mean and laughing their way to bank pocketing billion trillion zillions while we go flat broke and weeping over it. My advice is just be happy with what you got, anything that involve risk is not worth the investment. I know too many people who lose alot more then they think including myself by investing in stock whether short term or long term. I'm not a money loving person but I sure hate to lose hard earned money, anything that involve gambling is an addiction and a very bad thing for the society. People like me and you get sucked by these scumbag all the time and i wish all would wakeup and come to their sense and do something about these messes that's all over the media, the internet, newspaper and everywhere that they can think of and are infested like cockroaches, spider, ants looking for a free meal.
Then their's greed in most people heart which is why the stock market cannot die, our economy would be better off without these crooks. If you lose most your money in stock, you're a victim you have them to blame and not yourself but they twist thing around saying "you have yourself to blame." does that make us feel any better? don't think so. Why play a game you can't win or have a very low chance of success? again, skill is not going to help you at all if any since it been rigged to make you
from winning a little in the beginning giving you confident to invest all your saving so you end up losing big in the end.

did you tell him to go suck an egg and then make him do it because you know these bad guys never do what you tell them to you have to watch out for them because they don't listen. i would feel better if you did knowing that was one less bad guy in the world that wouldn't ever spit on anyone's shoe again. i bet it was bill gates was it bill gates i bet it was bill gates. he's always up to no good.

Wow! Long post.

I don't agree with it all, though. Yes, trading stacks is potentially dangerous to your bank account, but so is any business involving money. There are villains out there who will take a sucker's money in any way they can Same with stock trading.

But that doesn't mean a careful person who uses the right tools can't make some money trading stocks. It can and does happen. I know, 'cause I do it. Only a little, but enough to keep me satisfied I can make a bit of money from it. Pocket money, not a fortune, though, as I only dabble for the enjoyment of it, really. It's fun analysing and committing yourself to trades. There is a risk, yes. But the risk is mainly from the sharks who want to sell you scams. Or from yourself if you get lazy or overconfident.

IMO, anyway

Sorry for the long reply

Cheers
Mick

Actually Wart, I just stood there with my mouth hanging open as he ran and jumped into a Red, 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Which I am currently referring to as the getaway vehicle for the phantom spitter (I never really got a look at his face.)..

Kids these days, I tell ya. Ketchup.

Bizarre. Even for the internet, that's bizarre.

Unfortunately there is absolutely no investment without risk. Even the money you place in your bank account is at risk. Banks can and have failed often throughout history when their investments (your money) exceed their assets. Did you know that banks in the USA are required to have available only about 12 cents for every dollar you put in them? Is that not risky?

Another thing I noticed is that you complain about the media, brokers and certain websites for presenting investors with false information. Well, if investors were to do their homework then they would know to avoid them.

The number one rule when investing is to avoid any commission based brokers, analysts or advisors. They don't care what they sell, because as long as they are selling they are being paid a commission.

Is the stock market risky? Yes. But one can reduce risk through education and study.

Oviously, life itself is full of risk. But people seem to get onto these cynical anti-stock-market hobby horses when there's a downturn.

I'm skeptical whether csccsc is a real investor. Seems more of an anti-capitalistic rant (probably by a foreign national).
