Should I invest in the stock market?

Well that’s a hard question.  In general, you want to be informed before you make a big decision like that.  It helps to think carefully about what you are hoping to achieve and how much risk you are willing to take, and what you might lose if the investment goes bad.

Okay. Any advice?

Well there are lots of different reasons to own stock.  Maybe you’re interested in a company’s future value, or maybe you want to get a percentage of the company’s earnings as a “dividend” payment every year.  Or maybe you want to pay off your mortgage by selling the stock later.

I have a mortgage, but a good amount of money saved. Should I invest in the stock market?
