WHAT ABOUT STOCKS AND SHARES?
In a capitalist society funds are necessary for industry
and commerce and investments secure their success while at the same time
provide a return for the investor. It is understood that shares fluctuate, and
the money market carries risks which cannot always be foreseen. An unexpected
crisis in a company can see its shares slump quickly, or if it takes over
another company, the shares may soar. We are all at risk whatever we do whether
its walking down the stairs or crossing the street.
"Playing the market" however is somewhat different. This is
when someone closely studies the market, constantly switching investments for
the higher profit. That is not only gambling, it savours of covetousness -
trying to amass wealth without working for it.
