I personally don't think there is that much of a difference. In the end you are risking your money to gain money. I think the people who say differently problem won some cash from the market and assume its safe, it isn't.

No one said any investment is 100% safe, but at the least with stock shares you're placing money on something other than just odds on a payout table.
The only way those two investments can be considered to have even chances of making a profit is if you have no knowledge about stock market and shares you are investing in.

Even with "knowledge" of the stock market you still have risk. If it was possible to have knowledge everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich. The bottom line is you are guessing and hoping for the best.

Stock market is a 0 ending game, if someone wins that means that someone loses also. If you think that the price is reasonable to buy yourself in and you expect the price to go up, someone at the same moment thinks that the price will go down and it's high time to sell. After it, one of them will win and the other has missed the opportunity to win, so it's a loss for him.

Yes, you are right. In stock market if the price of the particular stock is increased then it will be a profit for the shareholders and at the same time if someone has opted for derivatives (call option-Put Options), and placed trade on put option then it will be really huge loss for them.
