rightly said... and an average and small trader is more likely to lose than gain here!

I would like to differ in opinion here.

It totally depends on who's coming to the market with what purpose. If someone is coming to the market thinking that some free and easy money is being distributed here to each and every fool coming here, please stay away.

Stock Market, if seen rightly, is not only an pulse of business but also the means for smaller investors to participate and gain from big businesses (which they would like to own, but do not have the kind of money to own it all by oneself).

I dont deny the presence of Crooks in the stock market who will make every attempt to cheat the investors, but I also hold the gullible investors responsible for their own loss, as its there greed to become millionaires overnight, which exposes them to thread of fraud.
