Stocks, Forex or Futures

[AFX-UK]

Just a quick one for anyone with experience in at least two of these..

Which do you prefer and why?

I am not talking from a short term day trading perspective but rather from a longer term wealth building perspective.

Which do you find to be more straight forward to make money on.

I am also interested to hear their thoughts as I've been thinking about spreading my wings to stocks and/or futures.

I have read a post somewhere in the past that the favored progression is stocks to forex or futures to forex. of course, it could be different for the rest.

if anyone has an experience with options, it would be good to hear about options as well.

I personally think stocks are better. From a long term wealth building perspective and to quote Teweles and Jones "of all the games being played, the futures game is the hardest".

In stocks at least you get 6% dividend yields and above. There is more volume, more market participants IMO.
