Do you invest in the stock market?

All the time

Heh, I actually started in 2008 when this post was created and although it felt like s**t when I first started (early that year), I'm glad that I rode it out. I mainly invested in passive index funds and later diversified some into gold and bonds as well.

It certainly sounds interesting, but I think that there are more reliable projects in which it is worth investing. For example, sports betting. All you need to do is just find a reliable bookmaker and start betting. For example, I use this bookmaker [url][/url]. In my opinion this is a great and profitable way to make money on the Internet

Is that legal in the Unated States?

I do have investments but I don't understand or follow the stock market at all. I have a financial guy who makes the decisions for me, otherwise I'd be clueless.

I don't know where my money is invested. It's under the care of the Washington State Investment Board, and I have never lost money with them. That is the best I can do, because I wouldn't know what to do either.

I lost about £5,000 in the 2008 crash, and since then I've made investments in City Of London Investment Trust, Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, and a handful of what used to be called 'unit trusts' ('mutual funds' in the USA, I believe). Most of these have been profitable, but I doubt whether I've done much more than recouping the earlier losses.

Scottish Mortgage's holdings, by the way, are not mortgages, nor are they in any way 'Scottish'.

Yes

I just rode out the 2008 crash and then diversified. Though I realize I don't really need to do that, as my expenses are so low and I'm already living in a paid for house.
