Re: How to invest in Stock
realistically how risky is the stock market? And how likely is it that $1k could actually turn a large profit over a year or so time? Would poker be a better investment lol?

Re: How to invest in Stock
Yes, for 1k poker is a much better investment, assuming you can beat it. It's not very likely that you'll make a significant amount in the stock market with a 1k investment - in an awesome year you'd make something like 40%.. $400 - not that much.
As for poker, I started with 625 on 2/1/07 and now I'm at 18k... and I don't consider my run/play to be awesome. Try turning 625 into 18k on the stock market in 8 months! |

Re: How to invest in Stock
Define "large profit". If you want to have $1200 after a year (20% return) you have a better chance doing that at poker than you do in the stock market. Although you also have a better shot at being at $600 after a year.
A 2% swing is a crazy day in the market. Not in poker. Poker has more variance than the market. As far as being a better "investment". How good are your poker skills? |

Re: How to invest in Stock
move up @ 20-30 buy-ins strategy...if you have the time to invest the returns in poker >>> returns in market. If you don't have the time, put it into the funds already mentioned...
