Addicted to Stocks?
The stocks are becoming addicting to more people ever day, as they become a way to quickly accumulate an individuals income, and it is due to this that the stocks have become so addictive. In fact, the stocks have become so addictive that many websites and self help centers have a gambling and stock gambling center. Why is this such a concern? Because people do not realize what they are really doing to their hard worked for income, and the effect that they have on the others that rely on them for food and shelter.
Many resources are readily available if you search for gambling or stock addictions, such as The Wild Investor’s blog on the 14 Symptoms of Stock Trading, to further prove that individuals do suffer from this addiction. Within The Wild Investor’s blog, it is highlighted how to recognize the stages, or appearance of the addiction to stocks, and how to combat this addiction.
Does this mean that stock are unhealthily, bad for the economy and the system of stock trading needs to be dismantled? No, not at all, as the stocks provide an amazing amount of revenue across the world and ultimately keep our economies running. All the addiction problem means is that the public need to be better educated and made aware of the possible consequences of their actions.
