Forex vs stocks

[investor]

Forex trading vs. traditional stock trading. Which one is better and which one will make you more money?

[bullish]

I personally prefer to trade stocks, but I guess you can make lots of money in both FOREX and equities.

I don't trade. This requires too much time and effort and entails greater risk. I invest in trends (you can make money in both bull and bear markets).

I would trade only if this is the only thing I am doing - I mean if this is my job. Otherwise if you think you can trade and work at the same time you are doomed to failure.

[trent]

I wouldn't trade in the current volatile markets - it's just too risky. Even after the markets have calmed down, I wouldn't trade as I prefer investing for the long term. I don't think we have reached the bottom yet, and I think that Dow will ultimately go down to 6,000 before any long-term recovery.

[Canadian]

I don't know if where will Dow bottom, but I'm not puuting any new money in the markets, until the volatility goes away, and I don't expect this to happen soon.
