IS INVESTING GAMBLING???

Investing is simple. It's just betting on which way people will be spending their money.

Is playing the investment game gambling? Well to an extent, but so are most of the decisions we make in life. The outcome of every decision in life is not guaranteed. Therefore you are taking risks everyday. What is most important is understanding low vs. high risk decisions. Investing in a company can be a very low risk investment if your are thinking long term. High risk investors are known as traders. They trade when they feel their stocks are the highest and buy when they think stocks are at their most feasibly low point.

Successful traders go to school for it and it can be extremely stressful for them or anyone who wishes to be a successful trader. Beginner investors should be thinking long term. Buy now and sell way later. It requires patience. You should also have a cutting point to when you think your money will receive as much return on it as you feel possible. There are certain ways you are to think about investing. If you cannot come to terms to understanding the mind of smart investors then you are more than welcome to continue praying that the yearly return on your savings account will someday exceed 1%. Instead, you can invest in a safe company and you could possibly double your investment.

The stock market is volatile. When your investing long term you need not get caught up in what happens day to day.
