Investment Basics
An investment is the purchase of an asset such as a stock or bond where the reasons for parting with your money are more compelling than the alternatives. Your portfolio is a bucket of assets owned. It is designed to transfer your purchasing power to the future. The sum of income plus gains earned by your investments, while keeping risk in check, is your reward.
