Either way, you need to equip yourself with the necessary knowledge and understanding of the market you’re into. Since I am just starting, I think I would start with stock market since it doesn’t physically require my presence and I don’t have to face many processes such as acquiring business permit, hiring people, etc that I am sure I have to deal when putting up a new business.

I agree with the idea that one must do his due diligence before engaging in any investment. I do prefer stocks and also want to be a business owner soon. With regard to stocks, after all the studies and research; One must also create its own strategy and come up with a sound plan for his investments. This will determine weather his investments will actually profit or not. Stock Investment is a guessing game but I don’t prefer guessing too much. One must know his investment for long term and short term depending on the goal an investor has. This will determine his strategy and the strategy will make or break the investor. As Rich Dad Said, It’s not the investment that is risky but it is the investor. We must lessen or sometimes eliminate “RISK” when investing.

I totally agree that one must do their research and use common sense. I am in the midst of doing that with Mentor Capital (MNTR). I was turned on to this company after reading about their 20% interest in Quantum Immunologics, a bio-tech company, on Breast Cancer Investing (dot com). So far it’s looking like a good investment.

I prefer investing in stocks..as it won’t require too much of my time and effort. Plus I don’t have to worry about permits, location, employees and the like I just wish I could start soon.

Hi Zen, thanks for your insights. Assuming all things are equal, you both have the capital and the skills in both stocks and business, which do you prefer?

The question points out more into which type of investment are you most interested in. An investment in which you can control but you need physical hard work (business) or an investment which you don’t have full control but it does not involve too much physical work (stocks)?

Hi, this is just my opinion. It is true that you don’t have control over the stock price, and you can’t do anything if the stock price go up or down. But you do have control over what stock to buy and not to buy. I think instead of shy away from stock market because wanting to avoid risk, one shoud do lots of homework before investing in shares if you really want to invest in stock.

Well, I do read RK before, his advice sounds like this: if you have tonnes of money, you can generate your passive income through your portfolio which is the stocks you own. If you don’t have much capital, u might want to start from being a business owner then subsequently switch to be come an investor.
