efreddy When you buy stocks,you are buying a part of the company and that's nothing to do with gambling, unless you don't even know what the company are doing. When you bought stocks of the Dow Jones IA 20 years ago (even if it was before the crash)you have good...

efreddy I don't know what the next 10 years bring (nobody knows it) but I think it should be quite well,not 2000 because stocks have a better value now but I don't believe it should be so good as the last 20 years. From 2000 to the end of 2002 we had (in the USA,in...
