Stocks are an investment that is buying a share from the company. It's kind of like buying part of the company almost. You want to invest in a company while its low because it easier for the money to go up rather than buying it high. As the company grows your investment will as well. A bond is a debt that a company owes you, surprisingly. As they borrow the money from you they agree to pay you back over a period of time with interest so your making more money off the loan in the long run.
What I found most helpful on this website is the paragraph under "Stocks are ownership stakes; Bonds are debt." It is majority of the page but it was very helpful to help me understand the difference.

If your reward is greater well then you risk is going to be greater also. The risk basically means the amount of money that you are investing. If you want to invest $1000, that is your risk.You need to look at the company and evaluate it. Do you really think that this company is worth $1000 of your money? Do you really think that this company with help increase your money? Just asking yourself simple questions like these can really help you when risking your money on a company.
In this website I found that the paragraph "Lets Get Real" was very helpful because it uses more number and examples and explains how to limit your risks.

Bonds are basically a loan that is given to a company to help start up or expand on new plans for the company. When it comes to risks and rewards they are very similar. The higher the risk the higher the reward. The difference  about bonds is that you are higher up than stock owners and by that I mean you are more prioritized to be paid back if that company goes under. Having bonds can be better for you too if you want more of a steady income. Its defiantly more trust worthy in some cases to have a company pay you back an annual fee rather than put your money in stock exchange and watch what happens, especially if you don't know what your doing.
      I found that in his website it talks about and compares the risk with a long term and a short term investment. I thought that this is very useful information when considering investing in a bond. It will help you understand more of the risks and whats a better root for you.

Its the process of spreading out your ideas and not thinking about just one thing. In this case its about investing into more assets rather than just focusing on one. Most people use the expression  "Don't put all you eggs in one basket" when they refer to diversification.]]> 2018-11-08 16:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jakemalone771/3bhqi9vo5kb8/wish/302180669 jakemalone771 https://padlet.com/jakemalone771/3bhqi9vo5kb8/wish/302738888 Investing has its ups and downs and always will, when times seem like there at the lowest well there is no way but, up to go right? Even when its high it can go higher there is not set limit for stocks to go up. If you watch this video with Dave Ramsey he has very good advice in why not to give up on the stock market. Its just like a roller coaster "only the ones who jump off get hurt, ride it until the end."
In my opinion this video is one of the most helpful videos I have watched on stocks mostly because he addresses a lot of valid points in it. Defiantly worth the watch!

This is because your investment could drop tragically and then suddenly before you know it you just lost tons of money, I mean you could make lots if you get the right one but what are the odds of that... very slim. Its good to spread out your investments because it lowers your risk with that one company you just invested in. You also don't want to invest in to many companies because than it can be just like an endless loop. If you can find a few good investments that make you some decent money its good to just stick with them. Before you invest in anything when your diversifying your portfolio make sure you know what your getting yourself into and how this investment will make you money over the years, Don't go into it completely blindfolded, that's when you start to loose money.

Like Dave Ramsey talks about in my first video "the stock market is like a roller coaster." Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world. Just looking at the graph you  can tell that even massive companies have its ups and downs. Do you really think that a smaller company won't? Always ride it till the very end, there is no reason on jumping off if your just going to lose money and hurt you financial situation in the end result. Always finish the ride even if you don't think its going to get better.  ]]> 2018-11-15 17:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jakemalone771/3bhqi9vo5kb8/wish/304908069 jakemalone771 https://padlet.com/jakemalone771/3bhqi9vo5kb8/wish/305430757 There is a few reason why you should invest in bonds. One major reason is what we have already been talking about and that is diversification. Having a bond will give you more diversity in your portfolio. It also has more safety to it rather than stocks because bonds have a fixed income that means, you will get payments on agreed dates. Having the constant income helps with safety and it's also a positive by itself because you have those constant payments coming in to you until maturity. The history that bonds also have is another reason why its good to invest in them. In some cases they can be better than stocks.
What I really liked about this video its that it really covered a lot. It introduced me to more reason on why to invest in bonds.

Looking at this its pretty easy to tell that even though stocks can jump higher than bonds, bonds keep a very consistent market with a slight increase. Now this graph is only over a 10 day span but it goes to show that investing in bonds is much safer rather than investing in stocks. If you invest in stocks your more likely to fluctuate more with your investment rather than bonds.  ]]> 2018-11-22 17:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jakemalone771/3bhqi9vo5kb8/wish/307084214
