Investing in Stocks?

Is it worth it? I heard you can get taxed on it, it's too risky and that you should invest into something else.

Index funds are stocks dummy. An index fund is essentially betting on the health of the entire economy whereas a single stock is betting a single company. A single stock can produce significantly higher returns than an index, but it's also much riskier.

Why not start a business and appropriate funds to a whole bunch of people who then invest that money into the business over so many years - like, a massive money laundering operation right in the face of the pubic that also earns profit by operation?

If you read 3-5 stock picking books then picking individual stocks is fine. You still have to diversify to 20-30 stocks.
Otherwise invest in 3-5 index funds, even if you are wealthy.
