Shares are the best investment available over a long period of time. The growth of share prices comfortably out-paces inflation most years because the best share prices represent the growth in earnings of the best companies. Although the stock market is seen as "high risk" this depends very much on timing and the sort of shares you invest in. It is possible to invest in shares with very little risk if you are willing to put in a great deal of effort in learning the art of investment and doing ample research.
