Let's say you have $1000, would you start your dream business or put the money in the stock market? Well, as far as I am concerned, I would buy stocks because when I invest in stocks I do not have to work on it to earn profits

If I have such amount, I do not need to spend all of it just to start my dream business. So the best move for me would be to invest some in stocks or whatever I think is best, and also start my business.

Stocks can crash and under perform. I would soak that amount in my business that I can have a level of control over than stocks.

My dream business for sure. With my business I can easily control things and make things be how I want it to be

I think it is best to invest first in having the business. Once the business prosper, then we can do other things to gain more profit.

It is a good option. Although we need to be so familiar with the trends and principles on how to deal with the stock market per se.

I don't see $1,000 doing much towards starting a business, so I'll go with the stock market if it's this or that. In real life, I would just stick it into a high yield savings account though. Take advantage of interest rates while they're high.

It largely depends on your region. $100 would go a long way in helping to establish a business in my country. Not just a business but a standard business. I would rather use that amount to invest in a business as a resident of Africa.

I guess its better to learn and invest in stocks because you can even invest a small amount in stocks and there is a lesser risk as you can even turn your losses into profits in the long run

For me l would rather invest in the stocks. I have realized that running a business in these days is very tough.

It's a good idea to invest in your business too but you should not invest a very big amount and should have a proper expansion plan fo that

Stocks can crash or under perform. But technically speaking, you don't make loss until you sell your assets, and if you hold for longer time, your stocks might rise again

When deciding between investing in my own business or the stock market, I lean towards my business where I have more control. While stocks can fluctuate, holding long-term can balance out those ups and downs.

I also prefer to invest money in stocks rather than investing in business. It will take time to earn profit from the business but from stocks one can start making profit in few days.
