The fundamentals you need to know before investing.
What is a Stock?
A stock represents partial ownership of a company. When you purchase a stock, you’re buying a piece, or a “share”, of a company. By owning a share, you own a small fraction of the company’s assets and have a claim on its future earnings.
What is an ETF?
An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is an investment fund that trades like a stock. ETFs, like other types of funds, pool together money from investors into a basket of different investments, including stocks, bonds, and other securities.
What is a Bond?
A bond is a loan given to a company or government by an investor. By issuing a bond, a company or government borrows money from investors, who, in return, are paid interest on the money they’ve loaned.
What is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund provides a way for people to invest in a diverse range of stocks, bonds, or other securities by buying shares in a financial vehicle that is professionally managed.
What is Retirement Planning?
Retirement planning involves setting your retirement goals and creating a plan to achieve them. This usually includes saving, investing, and preparing for potential long-term care needs.
How to Technically Analyze a Stock?
Deciding how to invest is a lot like shopping for a car, but the consequences are much more significant. Start by understanding your own needs and preferences. Then, explore various investment options, comparing them based on price and potential returns.
What are Futures?
A futures contract is basically a legal contract or agreement between two parties to exchange a specified amount of an asset at a future date, with the price being determined today.
