Stock Market Is Big Casino?

Stock Market Is Big Casino?
Look at the stock prices, some days stock prices are higher, other days they’re lower. Without warning your 401k is slashed in half. Your 401k might have ballooned to heights previously unimagined. It all seems so random. The stock market is like a manic depressive person.

One day you might wake up to discover the Ms. Stock Market has forgotten to take her mood equalizer pills and offers you companies that are worth $50 per share for only $20 per share. It works in reverse sometimes, too. Ms. STock Market may be especially giddy one day and offer you companies that are worth virtually nothing for hundreds of dollars per share. That’s the way the market operates. There are no guarantees. Please Only invest what you can afford to lose. Incredibly, people regularly speak about the stock market as though it were a machine that produced consistent returns year in, and year out.

What nobody will tell you is that the stock market is like one big casino. The turth is you’re owning share in a real company. You are purchasing an asset or investment. However, the overwhelming majority of people who are involved in the stock market see it merely as a place to make a quick buck. They will attempt to turn a profit when the market pops and will attempt to steer clear when it drops.

You better know what you’re doing if you’re investing your hard earned money in the stock market — or you could wake up one day feeling cold and sad.

It is risky but it's not quite gambling.

Sorry my Friend i don't agree with you. it's not true. Stock market can not be A Casino. there is Regulatory department for seeing all things. there are some speculators also but they can make effect max. .25% of Market.so don't worry it's not a gambling.

Knowing the current situation of the stock market is crucial especially if you have stocks invested in it. It is better to be up to dated to the situations so that you could know the actions to be taken if some changes in the stock market occur as to secure your stocks to lose. Today, the stock market is unstable so we need to be vigilant to the current market conditions.

It's only gambling if you don't do your homework.

Of course even most experts got sucked down with this latest mealtdown.

For those who do not understand about stocks.
It'll be consider gambling.
If you did what warren buffet did.
Then it'll be another story.

Definitely stocks are very uncertain and any stock you buy can go up or down no matter how much it is advised. But you can’t say it a Casino. All you need is a sound understanding of stocks.

Runs in Billions and Billions in internationally curency...When the big money makers make their big money from their different investments...they let finances to crash...so then can rebuy again what is getting sold at a bottom price and then this vicious circle will continue again and again...as they say stupid people buy when the stock is high...and they resale when the stock is low....I hope you are not one of them. Big monery makers do the oposite.

Almost nothing at all, individually the biggest banks and 'players' have almost no power. There is no conspiracy to crash a market and earn a pay out, a few people have tried this, not only is it illegal and they went to prison, but they also made losses. In an ideal world the market rises and rises, when falls occur there is a mutual fear, and most players lose money, big or small. traders in investment banks are almost invariably long, I'm sure most are hurting today.

No! Casinos are gambling and the stock market is investing.The market does not operate exactly like a casino. In a casino, the longer you play, the more you will lose. In the market, the longer you play, the more likely you are to win. There have been people who made a quick killing in the market, just as there have been people who left the casino with a profit -- but they are the exception, not the rule. Money is made in the market by buying quality and holding it over the long run.
