On a private individual level, not really.  Same basic premise.  You pay money in hopes you get more money back.  You don't do any work to achieve the gains.

It used to be that you bought stock in a company to have a voice in said company.  Now it's just legalized gambling with trillions (literally) on the line.

I'll take your word for it. I just put all my money in a savings account when it comes time to 'invest'.

And earn a couple of percent interest, you're better off doing what I do, very safe over time, just put your money into a portfolio which invests in lots of stocks, mines in over 100 companies, sure I don't make huge gains but its usually between 10%-15% gain each year
