> [@Singh](#): > > lol i would but i dont have the time LOL yet i have enough time to post whore :wtf You don’t have to have the time in stocks, which is what’s so great, as long as you adjust your strategy to the time invested. You can just invest all of it into minimal risk mutual funds, with a small return. Sure you won’t make as much on daily but in the long rung, with the market fluctuating and most of us investing in higher risk stocks, you could be better off the long run without doing much at all. ---

I didn’t do all that terrible for not looking into it for 3 years only a 50% loss. Why would anybody ever play scratch offs/lottery is beyond me, this is by far a superior way of “gambling”. What the hell did you buy anyway to get up there? $50K without looking into it when you started with 3K after 3 years? Not too shabby. ---

In stocks you only need to be right 6 times out of 10 to make out well, which really isn’t bad odds. I’m still amazed that I didn’t lose my shoes on not bothering to check the stocks for 3 years. I invested in a fertilizer company and AIG :rofl ---

This is what AIG looked like for obvious reasons > **[American International Group Inc.](https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/AIG)** > > American International Group Inc. stock price, stock quotes and financial overviews from MarketWatch. Click “3y” aka going back 3 years. It looks like a profile of a side of a mountain on the left and the valley on the right :lmao Looking back at it, it’s probably one of the worst possible investments I could have made at the time.
