Different kind of thinking..

After reading some articles related to investment, i started to fully understand the difference between an investor and a speculator.. as an example, my point of view is that most of the ordinary investors nowadays are speculators.. Most people buy stocks in the market depending on their intuition or blindly following what other major investors are saying.. they don't really think logically or at least do some research on that particular company before investing in it..the consequences are: 1)winning lots of money because they are lucky in guessing the right stock to buy or 2) losing lots of money due to their insanity..fair enough.. i'm a person who doesn't expect to get something when i din really put effort in doing it.. i strongly believe that everything that we deserve to get will eventually come to us if we have put effort and persevere..however, in investment..when u have not enough of cash, its quite hard to persevere..anyway, investment is my only choice of making money other than getting my monthly paycheck when i start to work..i really dun think my monthly salary will be sufficient for me to buy a decent house and form a family..especially when the cost of living is so high nowadays..
