playing the stocks or investing in them is always a risk to a certain degree so one has to be prepared for the potential roll coaster ride. I don't think "stolen" is the correct word.

When one goes to the casino and puts money on the roulette wheel and loses, you money was not stolen. You gambled and lost. I have served on the Board of Directors for a publicly traded company and have seen how the market works. Not for me.

Playing on the stock market.

Be prepared to have a loss or gain.

If you can’t afford it don’t do it.

Kind of like breaking axles riding. If you can’t afford it don’t complain when they break.

IMO

40 years ago I told people some how some way those rich bastards are going to find a way to steal the money out of the pension plans, did I ever get told how stupid that comment was. No possible way they could steal that money and get away with it. 40 years later i have figured out how they are going to do it.

You don’t lose unless you sell. Buy dividends and always get a cheque every month, no more non dividend stocks for this guy.

I think you mean, buy stocks that pay out dividends.

Yes buy dividend stocks (ie: a company that pays you money for holding their stock)...
