Here are some basics investments that a new investor should consider:
Stocks.
Stocks are pieces of companies, so they're a good way to invest in the success of a company. You can buy stock in individual companies or invest in mutual funds that own many different stocks.
Bonds.
Bonds are loans made by a company or government agency to raise money for something like construction or research and development. They're safer than stocks because they aren't as volatile, but they usually pay less interest than stocks do.
Real estate.
Real estate can be difficult to understand at first, but it's also one of the most powerful ways to build wealth over time because it doesn't just gain value—it earns money for you while it's gaining value!
