I'd argue that some investors - the angel / startup investors - are gamblers, they place their bets on 100 startups and bet that one of them will be the next Facebook and eventually either sell for billions, or go to the stock market itself to get billions. The more traditional investor gets a stake in a company and due to that stake gets a say in the running of the company, thus having an influence on its future and growth (or decline). Less of a gamble there, it becomes part of their own responsibility then. |
