Why do you think it's a waste of money? I've made real gains through investing in equities funds. If you do your research and invest for the long-term rather than investing for just a day or two you can make money.

I think you misunderstood my question. I'm not talking about investing in online websites. I'm talking about investing in equities/stocks of corporations or index-tracker funds of the Dow Jones or FTSE. I agree that investing money in online websites is often a scam, but I'm talking about investing in equities. Quite different from what you are suggesting.

i have company shares
some stocks
and some mutual funds
you see, these are good investments
and they're money that grow while you do something else
except for the stocks... you have to keep a sharp eye on it, it's like a gambling game

Of course I do. But not actively. Stock market investment should be done with long term horizon of 3 years or beyond. But day trading in stock market is too dangerous.
Selecting good stocks for investment are also equally important.

I do invest in companies that offer a dividend and have been around for more than 10 years with a solid balance sheet and good cash flow.
If you do your research you can find companies that offer a dividend reinvestment. This is when you would re-invest the dividend instead of getting a check.
This does take time since you invest over the long term and you have to be patient. Most of all you have to be consistent with the stock or mutual fund.
