Shares are only good for the long term, anything less than 5 years you can experience a lot of volatility. You can even be DOWN on your investment within 2 years I would say. Plus investing outside of blue chips is very risky and you can lose everything.....Carillion, Enron, Lehman Brothers etc.

With shares you need to buy good businesses, but also hold a margin of safety, like benjamin graham teaches in the intelligent investor. Fear and greed causes shares to swing wildly between very optimistic valuations and very pessimistic valuations. The intelligent investor buys from the pessimist and sells to the optimist. Though catching a falling knife is dangerous, but I'd rather buy a stock that has had a 15-20% correction than buy a stock which has run up 15-20%.

[@Harihar_Patel]

Investing is all about stomach at the end of the day, best to invest and check your investments when you need to add money or remove money. The intelligent investor is his own worst enemy when he checks his investments daily and gets sucked into fear and greed.
