Do You Buy Stocks and Shares?

Ask a Question

Over the years I have dabbled on the stock market. Not all have performed well but it’s the gamble I take.

Some of the best have been unit trusts and the worst BT shares.

How about you?

Never tried to understand the stock market. After seeing a few films based around it - I don’t trust any of the people that operate it lol

PayItForward there’s always rouge traders but even if you go with an established company or bank there’s a risk.

Pjran this is true. Banks can’t be one hundred percen trusted either. If you understand the market and you make a few quid, hats off to you 😁

SaveMeSunday do you pay into a pension? Most pension providers use the stock market to invest, that’s why I thought I would.

I do buy stocks and shares but must admit i don’t fully understand it all tbh. I look it as a smarter form of gambling really.

jms19 I agree with you. It’s definitely a form of gambling, can go up and down like a yo-yo.

I don't, I've looked in to it and stuff like cryptocurrency but just can't get my head round it tbh so best for me to avoid

I used to dabble years ago P, i made a killing investing in a pharmaceutical company, then lost most of the profit investing in a gold mine in South Africa after taking conflicting advice, needless to say i don't anymore , the markets are too volatile in my opinion

I definitely don’t as I don’t understand any of it, let alone trust that it’s safe like bitcoin???
