Why should i invest in the stock market?
(the stock market lost money from 1999 to 2010.
what other periods of five years or more inthe last 90 years has it lost money, i know there has been several.)
Answer:
You can make a lot of money on stocks if you pay attention. Do not buy & hold forever.
Get a Scottrade account & do some reserch on about 10 stocks that pay a dividend. Study the ups & downs over the last 6 months. Look for a dip in price & buy. Then wait until it goes up a little & sell it. Dont get greedy but you can make $500 her & there a few times a week. If you have to hold onto it for a while before it goes up at least it pays a dividend…
Good luck
Hey David: At least if you had invested your SS $ in the market you would have about 70% of it now instead of minus nothing the government has saved.
