Stock investing not always a gamble

No safety net in trading futures, options or forex!!! - 2nd Revisit

Some financial instruments like options and futures are zero-sum game as for every winner there will be a counterpart who will lose the same amount.

Some people may think that stock investment is not a zero-sum game. Yes, it is true that it is not a zero-sum game as for every winner there will be a counterpart who may not lose the same amount.

But, stock investment is still about winning a loser game. If you don't believe me, go and poll your colleagues, friends and relatives. You don't be surprised that to find out that there are more losers than winners.

Let me know if your polling shows more winners than losers.

Stock market is not only winning a loser game and is also great wealth re-distributor. So be careful with your wealth in the stock market.
