1.) it means that if you take a risk with money it will either go up or down, its just a risk you have to take with it.
ReplyDelete2.) Probably best buy. Probably Las Vegas Sands Corp. It is my second best one..
3.) I see myself saving in a bank account. It doesn't really stress you out and you can put money in it and you can see how much money is in it every month (bank statements are awesome!)
4.) Pretty much your money doubles with the years you put it in effect
5.) Probably not because you can lose money and become broke....(possibility)
5 Things
ReplyDelete1.) This statement is talking about the way stocks can go up and down. You may loose a bit in one year, but as the years go on, for the most part, your stocks will continue to go up, and the risk of loosing money decreases.
2.) I don't really have confidence in any of my stocks. I've traded them out quite a bit. Right now, the one I'm putting most of my hopes into is DPS. It has something going on with Coca-Cola recently, so it's supposed to make a bit of money.
3.) I would definitely go with a savings account, if I can find 12% interest compounded. That would be awesome.
4.) I have money in a bank at 13%. 72/13=5.54, the number of years it would take for my money to double.
5.) I'm kind of undecided about that. I might consider it, but I don't like some aspects of the stock market.
1. Risk decreases with time because ok say you are at high risk with something medical well there are ways you can decrease the ways you do things like taking care of your self. So how i see it is if you put all your effort into something and give it time it will all work out in the end
ReplyDelete2.XOM I would put all my money in XOM if i had to - XOM because gas goes up and down but you sorta need gas to get around so if no one buys gas then they wont get around but if alot of people buy gas then you have a better chance of it going up.
3. I see my self saving instead of buying stocks because for one thing i hate stocks because they frustrate me and when i save it there will be interest that will come of it and it will all work out pretty much in the end.
4.It matters on how much money you put in it and that will be put in more money later make sence no but it does to me
5.NO
1.) If the stocks drop one day they may come back up the next over time they will drop less and be more stable
ReplyDelete2.) If i could i would put all my money into nike because they will be here for a long time. And even though they not doing well now they would in the long run
3.)I see my self doing both. I will save money in the bank for things i want but i will save some in the stock market for retirement
4.)if you have a six percent interest rate then u take 72 divided by 6 and get 12 this means it takes 12 years for your money to double
5.)yes but i would encourage them to learn as much as they can first
1. if you invested on the first day then you could loss more money than if you invested in the third day.
ReplyDelete2. the stock i have the most confidence is American Eagle. I would put all my money into american eagle. I picked american eagle, because it's never been down.
3. yea because everyone needs to save money
4. investments can double very quickly
5. yes because ill want them to have money
1. The longer that you wait the greater chance that your money will increase and you will make a profit despite the bad times in the market.
ReplyDelete2. ISRG sadly now, but I just happened to sell most of my stocks in them right before they started going really positive. And because right now it is my only positive stock.
3. I think that some of both is the way to go because a bank account is the safe way to go but if you put some money in stocks you have the potential to gain lots of money.
4. The longer you wait the better your stock will usually be. This can greatly reduce risk because things have to go back up eventually if you invested wisely.
5. Yes i think it is a wonderful idea if it is done properly and wisely. It can greatly help out if done correctly but can also greatly hurt you if done improperly. Overall though when the kids are young they have time on their side so i think that it would be wise to put money into stocks at a young age to let it grow with time. Even if you let it grow for a decently long time and not always 50 years or so you will still have a very decent chunk of change. It can be a great asset later in life.
1.) risk fluctuates a lot for it to be stable of any kind
ReplyDelete2.) i would pick sony because it went down for awhile but it has been my biggest profit overall
3.) i would probably just put into a savings account because there is no risk at all and i dont seem to good at the stock market
4.) your money will double in a certain amount of time
5.) probably not because of the potential losses
1. Risk will either help u gain or lose a lot.
ReplyDelete2. I would pick UPS because ever since I have had it it has gained a lot..
3. Yes because everyone will have more money!!...

1. The ability to wait out the ups and downs of the market can allow you to end up ahead.
ReplyDelete2. I would put more stock into ISRG it has only had one down period.
3. Buying Stock and keep them diverse.
4. I have a five percent interest rate. I take 72 divided by that percent and find out it takes 14.4 years.
