I do. Historically stocks have outperformed bank accounts, bonds, and other investments. As long as you can afford to take the risk, do your homework (Warren Buffett has always said that he only invests in what he understands), and keep track of your investments, you will do fine with investing in stocks. Bank accounts may be safe investments, but with the safeness comes lower interest rates. With investing the best thing that you have on your side is time. And, I am invested in individual stocks in both regular investments, my IRA, and also my work retirement (mutual funds in that case). If you want to invest only invest what you feel comfortable investing, and what you feel you can afford to lose (in the worst case scenerio).

I'm down to about 50% invested and continue to liquidate some of the shares I think are overvalued or likely to do badly in the next downturn.
I'll continue to hang onto anything that pays decent dividends (right now that's only Banks and Utilities ...) and maybe even buy more if / when they drop.

Nah stock is a penny game with too many unpredictable varibles. Ive long since changed my investments into real estate. Sure theres larger risks but thats the cost for larger returns. Shoot me an email at liang_jame@bentley.edu if you want more information.
