OTOH: If we have a sustained 'Bull' market, you can make beef stock, just don't even think about turtle soup...

With all of the prediction that the stock market will crash this year, it is nice to see it going up each day.

If I only could've, would've and should've invested in penny stocks when they were first issued.    

 

I guess Warren Buffet's been losing his shirt or his shorts lately.

My grandmother had the chance to invest 2500 in stock in (.....forget some computer start up) at like 15 cents per share.  The stocks went past 100 dollars per share....so math says she lost...

roughly 1.6 million dollars....

I always thought of playing the stock market as gambling with your money. Is there a difference between "playing" the lottery and "playing" the stock market?

There is a difference between 'playing' the stock market and investing in a company that has issued stock to investors.

 

Neil summed it up very well in post #14.

Nice to know. Actually I should of known that as I owned ALL the stock in my own company for years! If someone had just invested in me I'd be a janitorial empire by now!
