Some will do very well,some not so well,some will takeover other companies,some will be taken over,some will go out of business.
So as not to gamble,an investor will look at them,analysis their record ,their balance sheet,their management and their prospects before buying a part ownership. Buying into a business or buying a debt issue you do not understand is gambling.We all know people who have record of achievement and know others who are losers.Who do you invest in,or lend money to?
