How do you see the future of the stock market?

The stock market is a fickle creature. It's a place where you can win big on one day and lose everything the next. It's also a place where you can find yourself making money with little effort, or losing money because of one bad decision. The truth is, no one knows what will happen in the future—and that's why I think it's important to not put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to investing in stocks (or any other form of investment).
I know that sounds like terrible advice, but hear me out: if you invest all of your money in one company and that company goes bust, you're going to lose everything. But if you invest in many different companies at once, your losses are limited by the amount of money you put into each company. If one goes down, it might affect some of the others—but not all of them! You'll still have some cash left over from which you can make more investments or use as spending money later on down the line.
