why don't everyone invest in stock market ?

Question

it seems that investing money is good method to earn money + it is interesting and adventurous game. but i wanna know why everyone is not investing in share market ? is it because of the lack of knowledge and time or because people don't like investing time doing calculations?

Answer 1

Your right about lack of knowledge, but I also

believe its the fear of losing their money. Over

time the stock market can give you a return of

about 8%. If one is willing to take on high risk,

you can make up to a 20% return. In a good

mutual fund another way to go, there is no need

for calculations

Answer 2

Stock-markets are more risky than other means of investment- like bonds, or gold.



So, people with a lower risk appetite (most people in India are extremely risk-averse) choose to invest in less risky investments like Gold.



Plus, lack of awareness is also another reason for low involvement of people in stock markets in India. But, this situation is changing as the common man is getting more and more aware.

Answer 3

If you don't know about stock market you shouldn't invest money in stock market. Because here you can rich in over night and you can loss every thing in over night. So investing in share market is not right for every one.

Answer 4

Most of the people do not take trouble to understand the intricacies of stock market.



And most of them invest/trade without understanding this, then lose the money quickly and vow never to return to stock market.

Answer 5

If a company needs a bailout does that sound like a company to invest your hard earned dollars in? You want a company that can survive well on its own. Find comapnies being ignored by investors and that are going to come out with a product or service that will blow everyone away.

Answer 6

Risk takers generally (at least to an extent) invest in stock market, whereas conservative people may not want to, the want to be safe with less risk, & yes some people may have less knowledge & may hate doing calculations...

Answer 7

INVESTORS DO NOT LIKE TO INVEST IN STOCK MARKET DUE TO FOLLOWING:

For investment in share market, demat account and trading account are necessary.Investor has to pay Rs. 25/- per month for maintaining demat account.For opening Trading account,after Initial fee of Rs. 750/- , Rs.40/- or 0.5 % of value of transaction has to be paid for brokerage. In addition DP also charges nearly such amount. Thus major portion of profit is not available to the traders in stock market.



Most stocks fall in price rapidly and most investors closing their trading account due to heavy loss in share trading. Even good stocks like TATA STEEL, Bhel etc get too much drop in price value.

Most brokerage firms persuaded traders to sell their stocks on getting 4% profit.After selling, the money is invested in purchasing other stocks.When earlier stock performs well and new stock purchased is showing loss in their investment, investor feels brokerage firm cheated them.



Mutual fund does not incur more brokerage charges than trading shares in brokerage firm .No time loss is there after investing in mutual fund.But in stock market, most time is required to know the trend of the share in the market.For time consuming, Mutual fund is better in stock market.
