Investments are scary for some people, especially those who have never invested before. We grow up hearing horror stories about how this person or that person lost everything they had on some bad investment some odd years ago and it builds in us a fear to invest so profound that it is sometimes easier to get to march a confirmed agoraphobia in the Macy's Day Parade than it is to find someone to put in stocks or mutual funds a few dollars.
Part of the problem is that people have the wrong idea about how investments should work. We are always looking for the big score, the fast road to riches, and the rapid investment return that will turn ten thousand dollars in ten million dollars overnight. What do you think? These investments do not exist.
"What about Microsoft?" Is the question that many will ask here. "How about eBay and Wal-Mart and Xerox and ..." you get the picture. Though it is there are some companies that have surprised where everyone by rapidly successes and their shareholders looked excited with eyes and dilated pupils if their portfolios did what colossal grows short while, these are the exception rather than investing. rule Investments should look to the long term money makers and safety providers, not a spin of the roulette wheel with a big payoff or a devastating loss.
If you invest casually the best thing you could do is to find a stable company or investment funds, in money, and forget about it. Those who watch the market reports constantly and suffering palpitations every time the company they have invested in drops a few points will either crazy or liquidate lose by selling shares of the company at a lower price than they paid for fear that money if they do not get out now, the bottom drop out, leaving them with worthless stock. Do not worry. Coca-Cola is not going belly up anytime soon.
