Stocks

-Stocks are part-ownerships of a company that a person buys, giving the investor a percentage of the company's profits.

-The average interest rate on stocks is not really known because all stocks are different.

-The risk involved in investing in the stock market is moderate to high because of how flexible and unpredictable the stock market can be.

-The benefits to investing in stocks are the possibilities of high return and the rights and responsibilities of ownership.

-To stock market researchers, the month of October is jinxed because two of the worst stock market crashes happened during October.

-You can buy stocks through individual companies or through brokers.

-I chose to invest in the stock market because many of my investments had moderate to low return rates; although this poses more risk, it has a greater potential for return, and I would make it safer by investing in multiple different stocks, not just one.

I chose to invest $10,000 into stocks because I already invested a lot of my money into average to low return investments, so with the greater risk, I could have more possibility for greater return.
