What kind of crazy person would risk their money on glorified gambling when their bank account provides them a guaranteed profit each month?
Ridiculous

>>If they lose it all, they close down, you lose your money anyway.

This. Avoid banks unless you need a loan I guess. I'm sure I can make more than .08% a month investing on my own. More fun too.

You know... in order to make money with investments - you're taking that money from someone else... thus there are losers... thus you could be that loser... thus in a bank earning 0% is really a legit option... thus thus thus to to to

>Buy share off Company A for $10
>Sell share to Bob for $11
>Buy back share from Bob for $9

>Buy back share from Bob for $5

That's about the jist of it.

and during each transaction that dollar is becoming less valuable due to inflation, and that share is increasing in value due to growth.

>>1501340

>>1501294
Bank accounts are insured by the government. That's half the point of using a bank.

>>1501296
I can't believe there are people still falling for this bait

Trading is zero-sum but investing is not.
That's why trading is gambling but investing is smart.

I feel like this alot

>>1501331
You're a fucking retard I hope you understand that.

Where did the original money and investment come from

>>1501385
wow you're a dumbo.

>investing is not zero sum
by definition it is. no matter how you make money, the money came from someone else. someone else (or multiple people combined) has x amount less while you have x amount more.

I'm assuming you're referring to investing in a profitable company and seeing gains that way? What makes the company profitable? People losing money buying their product. You could argue that they gain assets equal to their money so there is no net loss for them, but we all know with depreciation this is untrue and even if they sold it for 80% of what they bought it for, someone down the line eventually loses money no matter how many times it is resold.

I have a feeling I'll be called back to explain this better...

>>1501375
and because of that insurance they are at liberty to do crazy shit because they have a safety net.

>>1501382
