Vegas Odds, The Stock Market and Annuities
If you’ve ever been to financial discussions, you might have heard of the famous line “Investing in the stock market is just like gambling in a casino.”
It’s true; poker machines are like stock markets. Investing and gambling both have a common denominator, and that is having to risk your capital with the hopes of future profit.
When you bet your money on both, the money is not yours until you have the cash on your hand or in your bank account. The only difference is that, over time, the odds will be in your favor as an investor and not in your favor as a poker player.
