Out there, many people are confused when they face the choice to choose to build a business or invest in stocks, because both of them also take a long time to make a profit, and also have a high risk. On the other hand, the potential for business profits can be greater than investing in long-term stocks. But the capital to start investing in stocks can be smaller and done regularly, while the business capital will be much larger. Doing business requires skill and experience and you have to work without working hours, while investing in stocks will be more relaxed if you choose to invest in stock mutual funds.

It would largely depend on the age I am at the material time. If I am much older, I would invest on stocks for lack of strength. If I am still young and agile, I would invest in a business.
Having a business is also very important and one of the reason why it is very important is that it's something that will always be there for your future generation to tap in to the success of the business.
In the other way round what if your progenies come and mismanage the business and it collapses? The best thing to do is to have a balance of both on case anything happens.
I prefer invest in dividend paying blue chip stocks. This is a great source of passive income. I am not prepared to start a business because I do not have a good business idea in mind. Also, running a business requires a lot of commitment and can be stressful. I am happy working as a freelancer right now.
Investing in stock and building a business are very critical for business growth.
As far as I am concerned, I would prefer building a business over investing in stocks. This is simply because a business is likely to generate profits daily while with stocks you only get some dividends once in the whole year.
This is a good analogy. While it is best to build your own business, if you don't want to take risks, you can play the safer option by investing and having rest of mind.
Yes, the simple truth is that not everyone will become a business owner. some people do not have what it takes to run successful businesses and their best bet is investing in stocks.
If they decide to bankrupt business, they are actually the one that are going to suffer it because I have already lived in my life and left everything for them to take care of.
