Can you start a Business with money saved on the stock market? - Talk Hobbies

Can you have a long-term investment in stocks and 20 years down the road they will be worth more?

Yes, that's the objective of investing but it doesn't always work out that way...it should, but no guarantees. Don't have to look any further than GE. And they're probably the best company in the entire world...or at least in the top 3.

Yes.

No you have to sell and buy or the gains will be gone by the next crash. You have to always change your stocks. What's up today could be already down in 20 years.

Over the years the market has been on the increase. In 1974 the Dow was in the 770 range. Today it is in the 8500 range or an 11 fold increase. Since the market is cyclical one cannot predict where it will be 20 years down the road. However, the trend is expected to continue after this dip and growth should occur.
