Re: Mark Cuban: stock market is probably the worst investment
GeorgeF
I agree with what Mark Cuban states about running a business, but the stock market is a great investment for young adults if they do a little research first. It's actually a better investment for someone that is young as compared to someone that is old. A younger person can tolerate the fluctuations in a marker due to the fact that this person will have time for the market to recover from downside fluctuations. Most mistakes in the stock market are made by people thinking they can get rich overnight. A few will get lucky, but most are really gambling and not investing. My advice for someone starting out is to buy into a S&P 500 index fund and hold. This takes no skill at all.
Good Luck
Mark
