How to invest wisely

Can YOU Trust the Stock Market?

Trust is important for people to invest in stocks. But how well do you trust? Read More

There Can Be No Trust Until the Govt Does What the People Expect

The US Govt as well as EU Govt's that are responsible for this Financial Crisis are Regulated into Responsibility. For every Dollar Won, there is a Dollar lost, the Money is out there & in someones pocket. You may say the Banks have really been hurt...NO-The Shareholders/Taxpayers have Really been hurt. I stress again that the Money went in someone's pocket, who's???

When will the Public Believe? When they see a New Version of Glass-Steigle introduced & applied. When the people see the Corrupt Punished. This is when we will see the end of the Crisis. We need the International Public to Believe & Invest w/Conviction as well.

There will still be Bear Mkt Bounces b/c we really Want to Believe that under the surface everything is just fine.

Re:Can YOU Trust the Stock Market?

Thanks for sharing the information. I believe where there is risk, there is an opportunity. I always suggest my fellow investors to diversify their investment portfolio and to opt for long term investments to minimize their risk.

I think those, who don't would join if they understand and educate how it will benefit their future. Think of it as a savings. Probably, they will join if they learn how it works. Personally, this results is incredible to know.

I think to trust in the stock market you have to be able to have a long term perspective. In it's current state though it's really hard to look past what's happening at the moment and think about where things will be years from now.

I have very little trust in the stock market in its current state, who does? I believe there will be an up side and our economy will strengthen, which i will then invest my money. I hope our country isn't in this state for too long.

Great Point! (fin 325)

This post is very interesting and compelling for a student about to enter the working world. Making considerations for the stock market and 401k plans has just become my priority.

maybe in the future...?

Seeing that the Dow is down over 100 points just today, and the general state of the stock market, I find it hard to put any trust in it. My trust has faltered even more so once I learned about the bonuses some involved with the market received, even as the economy tanked and the stock market crashed. Why should I put my money into something that doesn't have a bright future as of right now and where people involved in it get bonuses for everybody else failing? I'm pretty sure receiving a bonus implied that you actually did something good and worthy of receiving that money. Maybe when the economy starts to gain momentum again and companies aren't cutting thousands of jobs, I will consider taking a shot at it.

FIN 325

The Stock market can be trusted if used properly and in moderation. No one can predict its future but you can recognize its trends. People should not let their entire financial future ride on the market alone. There are better securities and investments out there that need to be taken into consideration.

I feel that you can trust

I feel that you can trust the market if you understand how the market works and what makes it go up and down. Maybe not right now because the market seems to go down down down...but if we have learned anything from history the market will bounce back and we will be able to trust it again. We are going through some tough times.

Re: Can you trust the stock market?

I personally do not trust the stock market. It is because I am not very familiar with it yet. At this moment, the stock market is recovering from the crash and I do not want to invest in any of the companies listed. I strongly agree that familiarity is a very important factor to trust in stock markets or retirement plans. Unless I am very aware of the situation and how they work, I do not want to invest in them.

I think that you should have

I think that you should have trust in the stock marktet if you are planning to make a lot of money in the long term. I have money in mutual funds, which is still going down, but at least if I don't pull it, then it will eventually go back up. But thinking long term is important if you plan on gambling in the stock marktet.

trust.. not yet

I'm one of those people that lost trust in the stock market. About 10 years ago, a college graduate, I had bought the party line that stocks will grow an average of 10% if held. But then I watched for 10 years while they got hammered. In the few good years I might have netted 6%, and the rest was negative. Between the start and the crash I lost about 40%.
Now I am invested in primarily vanilla corporate bonds, and so far, every time I check my balance, it's going up..

I don't know if I will ever decide to join the stock market club again, but I have more appreciation for the risk concept, and I am more sceptical of advice from financial gurus who claim stocks are a sure thing.
