📈 Investment Fundamentals

• Stocks — Ownership shares in a company. Higher risk, higher potential return. You profit from price increases and dividends.

• Bonds — Loans to companies or governments. Lower risk, lower return. You earn regular interest payments.

• Mutual Funds/ETFs — Baskets of many stocks or bonds. Instant diversification. Great for beginners.

• Index Funds — Track a market index (like S&P 500). Low fees, broad diversification. Warren Buffett recommends these for most people.
