Youngsters love to take risks when it comes to making big money in a short span of time and the growing interest of most of them towards the real estate even after the stock markets going roller coaster proves this. There can be good returns at times but the situation is never in our hands. In such a fluctuating market it is really risky to invest in market and one can loose all the money any time but todays youngsters are only concerned about earning easy and more money. Is it ok to take risk to earn such quick money??

Investment is defined as the amount of money you are willing to forefeit now for earning future returns. Risk is the marginal flutuation on the marginal efficiency of capital employed. So for higher variance one invests according to ones contingent claim return required,  in whichever investment available for him or her. Also, one need to be rational following rational expectation hypothesis where a rational decision is continuos, independent, complementary and associative on the choices available on decisions. Presently there is the irrational expectations theory of Khanemmann and Trvesky where one invests not following reh. If young pepole invest it may be that they need space for hosing etc; for future when the prices may be higher for them to afford then, or they may be speculating on the rise in prices the marginal efficiency of capital in that particular investment available depending on the dynamics of the economy. So nothing unusual for young or old to invest depending on their contingent needs.

Market can make you king in a day and a beggar on next. It is better to be cautious than to loose all. One should partly invest in market and should also opt for public sector. so in the end he does not loose all he has. Young and dynamic by nature they think all that they know is enough and all that they do is right, but they should take advice from those who are experienced and take right decisions without falling in trap of money.

Investment for short term return is normal.  The difference lies in the attitude of the investor.  If the investor knows that the risk factor is high, and is willing to take the risk factor in his stride, so be it.  When it comes to amateur investors, however, there is a big need to educate them.

Who is to decide this? Its a Subjective Que...if the word money is removed from the Question then it sounds OK. We always hear experts saying one should take risks...Now the que is why do one take risk? for various attainments in life....earning being the major goal in everyones life....Then WHY NOT...as far as the means to it is Right

I agree with Esha. Many youngsters had lost money when the stock market crashed more than a year back. Youngsters with high disposable income in their hands feel they know everything & invest at penny stocks. But only when stock market falls they realize their mistake.

I have never advised any one to go for quick money. At least a middle class family head can't choose this option. I believe money can be earned with sincere, honest and hard efforts. Planning is a must according to your requirement. If you want to reach at your destination, you have to choose a known path that will save your time and effort.

No we are not.. not right now. We are still in recovery stage and this time I do not think the same mistake will be repeated. Having tough time is one thing and going back to recession is totally different, we cannot mix them.
