If you put your money in a bank you will get a very little percentage from them while they are making a lot more from your money, so why helping them when you can help yourself instead? If a opportunity comes along you have money available to invest in it and make much more than the bank will give you.

But it's a long term thing and I could be doing a lot worse - diversification helped! Now is a great time to be putting money in, though. Historically, the best times to put money in are when it's all doom and gloom, yet the time the masses put their money in is after the markets have been going up for years and everyone's thinking it's a dead cert to make them rich! If you can carefully pick the areas to invest in and specific stocks or sectors then (if you have the spare cash at the moment) you could make a great gain over the next decade.
