I get that you buy stocks and the stocks go up or down every day, but why do people leave money in it for longer than a year? If the stock market goes up and down, wouldn't you want to take your money out when it is really high? I don't get why some people would leave money in the stocket market even when it is at a high selling price. Or does the stock market go up and down all the time, but in the end always goes up in price, like anually or something?
I know this sort of sounds i little complicated, but its the best i could word it...
also...about how much do you get from dividends and are there any safe investment stocks [aka "blue chip" stocksi think they are called] (you dont have to name any if you dont know any, im just wondering) that pay about 5% interest, maybe more?
