Shares/Stock Why do some people dislike buying shares?

[Shaf]

It may seem odd, but I've come across people who dislike the idea of buying stocks and shares as an investment strategy. While some dislike the low returns that comes with it, some people seemed to give no clear reason as to.why they dislike it.

It's one the most stable investment strategy though and has lower risk, giving you passive income on a regular basis as long as you've done to your research and bought the right ones.

Have you ever encountered such people, and what's their argument for not liking stocks and shares as an investment strategy?

There are many reasons why people might dislike buying shares. One of the biggest reasons is a fear of losing money. Many people who have bought shares in the past have been badly burned, and have lost a lot of money. This can be enough to put some people off investing altogether.

Another reason that some people dislike buying shares is because they think that they need a lot of money to start investing. The truth is that you can get started with investing with just a little money, so this is not necessarily true. Some brokers will require you to deposit a certain amount of money before you can open an account, but others will let you get started with as little as ten dollars or less.

Some people dislike buying shares because they don't know what to do with them once they've purchased them. It's important to remember that you can sell your shares whenever you want, so there's no need to worry about what will happen if you keep hold of them for too long. You can also use your dividends to buy more shares if you want to increase your return on investment.

Some people dislike buying shares because they don't understand how companies work, or how the stock market functions as a whole. There are plenty of resources available that can help you learn about this.
