Keeping money in stocks is a great way for diversification of income. I use Robinhood and is currently building my portfolio.

I have a friend who is retired now and scalps the stock market indexes in and out in 30 or 40 mins with thousands on margin. Win-Lose-Draw backed by stop orders.

If you are a retail investor be prepared for some major setbacks over a long term. I have seen a few very major downturns over the years. Still, when the Regan Recession was over in 1984 the DJI was near 900 today 29,017 that is 10x the rate of inflation 1984-2020. So are common stock prices realistic to you ? the experts argue this all the time.

I had stocks and mutual funds that took a huge nosedive in 2008, lost thousands. Really put me off investing in them again.

Stocks are gambling and I don't gamble with my money.

The real down markets may cost you as much as 30% ...

I will be careful. Trying to sell it to uninformed or retail players is dangerous. I have seen people lost their pensions because they thought they could do better.

I see a stock market that is very inflated in the USA right now. Long term 5 years+; technology stocks that have a reasonable PE ratio however be prepared to take paper losses in the short term.
