What is a stock? What is a bond? How do they work?
Stocks: what they are and how they work. Stockholder owns part of the company. Stocks are sold at an auction, so the price does not reflect the value of the company. Your money doesn’t actually go to the company.
Bonds: you are investing in the debt of a corporation or government, basically giving them a loan. Have a time limit. Interest rates can affect bonds as well.
