1. It's easier to lose money. That said, there are many ways to make money, if you have discipline, patience, and are willing to take risks. Most little guy investors put their money into stock funds and leave it there for years. The stock market has historically risen in value, so your funds also grow over time. The problem with the market is it takes unpredictable dips (like now) causing investors to lose their gains.
2. It,s a gambling club for those who have privileged inside information. By the time the man in the streets knows about something It,s to late the train has already left the station.I have lost ten,s of thousands over the years---i wouldn't touch it with a bargepole,you would have more chance going to a casino and gambling because that is what it is-gambling with terrible odds stacked against you
3. The stock market is legalized gambling. You bet your money that a stock will go up, or go down (called selling short). If you bet the right way, you can make money Therefore, it can be a real gamble. If it was so easy to make money with the market, wouldn't everyone do it? The only way to make money in the market is to buy now, and hold it for years. Eventually, almost every stock goes up.
4. its easy to make money in the market and in today's market there are still good stocks here are some tickers dre. or h.i g and always have time on your side and you will be fine unless you short sell then time never on your side so good luck to you
5. You don't have to know everything about the market to make money. What you need is a diversified portfolio which will make you money. People call it a gamble because they put all their money in one stock, usually a risky one, and often times that one stock fails. If you have a very diverse portfolio than if one stock goes down, you have others to balance it out. Many people made money on the market, you have to trust your gut a bit, and do a bit of research on the company. For instance, right now it would be a good idea to invest in green energy technology. Research the different companies a bit and put your money there, it will pay off in a few years. I made money in the market, and it was not that hard. The key is to realize that a 10-12% gain is good, people looking for a lot more usually invest in the risky stocks thus loosing tons of money.

8. you need to do company research and price research have money there you don't need to live on so if you lose money its not a big blow make sure the earnings cover the buying and selling comission and stamp duty and if you pay them, and fees on the account. Sometimes you need time for the prices to go up and dividends to be paid so watch out.
