If you had $100,000 to invest, which financial instrument would you choose and why? Choice A: using the $100,000 for a down payment on a real estate investment property in your area OR Choice B: using the $100,000 to trade stocks
It doesn't matter that it's price is 4 hundred thousand percent higher than it's IPO. Just park yer money there, because you and I know that nobody is going to stop shopping at AMZN.
First of all, you shouldn't think of trading stocks as an investment. Trading stocks (if you are lucky) may provide an income. If you buy and hold stocks, that is more of an investment. So the question becomes, do you want an income or do you want to make an investment for the future?
