Daniel asked Do you invest in stocks? Why/why not?

I don’t. I want to really badly, but reason tells me that I shouldn’t until all my debt is paid back because the interest I save is a guaranteed return. So, I will pay that back first and then open an ETF portfolio.

No. Money is gross.

STONKS!

LaDamaX · 3y

No, because it's gross

nefarious yeets · 3y

No because i don’t understand shit

Claire · 3y

Yes but I only buy index ETF's because they're the safest bet. Most people lose money trading and I can't be worried about closing trades during business hours while I'm at work.

No. I am not interested, don't have much money.

I don't have enough money to be able to afford the risk that comes with it, so no

Arthur · 3y

No. I rather have skilful approach about stocks not a wait and see one.

Yessir. Only £1000 and its up 5.78% right now. I've done it because I've now got a rainy day and emergency fund (6 month of salary) and a pot of money for when I get a car. So I'm now entering disposable income territory. I'm thinking about investing more, but going into index funds going forward. But I do have other investments such as a private pension of sorts (government gives me a grand plus compound interest if I put in 4K a year), its really been a focus of mine as of late to be maximise what my money can do for me all while keeping the risks relatively low - at least until I gain more confidence in investing. How about yourself are you interested in doing it?

Yes I do. Part of my pension fund is in stock. I spread the investments in order to spread the risks. The common pension system cannot cope with the increasing number of elderly and the dwindling number of younger persons paying.
