That is rubbish. When you buy a bond or leave your money sit in a savings account, you are literally selling / lending out your money short or long term. You are providing a service to the bank / investor so they have cash to burn. And for this service you should be reimbursed, and you are by earning interest. Read, you actually earn it. If you invest in the stock market, you don't earn anything. You are gambling. Plain and simple.
