iloveshushi, You're making incorrect and possibly foolish sweeping statements. On the 24th of July 2020 I sold at 16.36p. All had been bought at single figures. I've since bought back, largely this year and the last, again in single figures. I am well in profit. As for 85% losing money in shares (never mind 99.99%!) This is plainly wrong as the vast majority of the UK working population are enrolled in pension schemes which have a large proportion of their funds in shares. My own personal Pension und has done very well thank you over the years as has my Company Pension scheme.
I wonder if you have any pension schemes - if so have a look. In addition have a look at the stellar performance of some of the Investment Trust market. Millions of UK holders have had great successes there. Lastly look at the Stocks and Shares ISA market. Again some real tax free money being made.
