PBS tonight: American Experience (1930s)
#2
A lot of people do not understand the difference between investing and speculation. Buying a stock such as AAPL and hoping that it appreciates greatly is speculation. Buying a broad array of stocks, in an index fund for example, is investing. The real purpose to invest in stocks is so that you have an inflation hedge, not to get rich.
