Well, most of the time it does if the investor makes good use of TA and FA techniques. But investments do bear a certain risk - which depends on the stock.

This topic should be moved in the 'Debates' section!

Depends on what you invest.
Stock markets are risky.....may not always bring returns...
FDs may be good...but they give slower returns..
If you invest in property, I believe it fetches some very good returns....at least most of the time

So to your statement....it is not always true that investments may bring along returns....but investing wisely will definitely do you good.
Read this book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and also guide to investing by the same author...very good books....will help you....

FA means fundamental analysis. On a basic level it involves judging a company's fundamentals like Earning per share, price earning ratio, gearing ratio, dividend history, net asset value/share and many more to see if the company is in a fundamentally strong position. If it is and the stock is not overpriced, it is wise to invest in that stock.

TA is technical analysis. It does not take into account any of the fundamental data. Instead analysis of intrinsic factors like price, volume, RSI, MFI, moving averages and thousands of other techniques are used to determine if a stock is in a buyable position. You may even have your own formula!

Combination of both is the best. Mid term is almost always better than short term investments.

The safest investment is probably property like nid404 said.

Fixed deposits are boring! Whats the reason to get into business if I know beforehand that I will get 8% per year (not more and not less!)? Only for retired people!

Rich dad poor dad is nice too!

Cheers.

Property does bring good returns in the long term. Unless you are really unlucky to have invested in houses at the US in 2008! Hotel suites, apartments are also properties.

In my opinion, if you have the knowledge and expertise, investing in stock market is the best option. Otherwise properties. But NEVER fixed deposits.
