Stock Investing
Stocks represent ownership shares in a company. When you buy a stock, you're purchasing a small piece of that company, which entitles you to a portion of its assets and earnings.
While stocks can be volatile in the short term, historically they have provided higher returns than many other investment types over long periods. They play an important role in building wealth and beating inflation.
Types of Stocks
Growth Stocks
Companies expected to grow at an above-average rate compared to other companies. These often don't pay dividends as they reinvest profits to fuel growth.
Value Stocks
Companies that appear to be undervalued based on their fundamentals. These may be mature companies with stable earnings that often pay dividends.
Dividend Stocks
Companies that pay a portion of their earnings to shareholders regularly. These are often established companies with stable cash flows.
Blue-Chip Stocks
Shares of large, well-established, and financially sound companies with a history of reliable performance.
