Why don't you invest in stocks?

Question

Following up on my poll from yesterday, majority of people invest little to nothing in stocks. My question now is why?

My 401k is allocated 80% to stocks, but you said not to include it in yesterday's poll - so I voted accordingly.

I would not allocate significant contributions to an after tax brokerage account without first maxing out my 401k. In light of the way you asked the first poll, I think today's poll misses the reasons why people answered the way they did.

I max 401k, and then invest heavily into the s&amp;p500. I probably only allocate 5% of my take home to playing around with individual stocks.

Our country has been in a recession for quite some time, however our leaders refuse to admit it. Simply because it would cause mass hysteria, but the market is going to crash terribly at any point. Time to start betting against it. It sounds bad to say out loud, but some people in this country became millionaires overnight (9/11 for example)
