Well I don't think Developers earn enough to invest in Stocks to get any lucrative returns on long run. The reason being, developers are overloaded with deadlines and are paid poorly due to the fact that there are too many of them. In country like India, developer's 50% salary goes straight to the mortgages for home and car or a rental.

Stocks grow by investing in a new Idea, if developer has money and time, shouldn't they invest in a new idea to make next big product that can climb stocks?

I agree for the passive income (savings) for disaster. But one should invest in her/his own area of expertise instead of someone else's.
