Galacia Rolls Sep 18 8:48am Hello Class, With stocks, you can buy a part of the corporation, which sounds awesome. And you can only lose your investment if the corporation goes bankrupt (which is still bad). I mostly hear from my friends about dividend stocks because they pay you dividends every quarter. I think that is awesome, but to receive a significant amount of dividends, you need to invest a significant amount of capital in the same stock. Stocks are liquid too, which means you can buy or sell them easily. There are stocks that are more volatile than others, which means that they tend to increase in price and decrease rapidly. These types of stocks are riskier than other stocks whose volatility is lower. I have started to invest in a few popular mutual funds in Robinhood, but I am hesitant to invest in stocks mainly because the mutual funds diversify my investment while stocks do not diversify my investment.

The Financial Sector-End of Chapter Problem You are discussing buying stocks with a friend and mention that you want to buy a few shares of Amazon stock. Your friend says that's a terrible idea because Amazon has never paid dividends to its shareholders so you would never receive any of Amazon's profits or make any money off the stock. What might you say to your friend to defend your desire to purchase a few shares of Amazon stock? You explain that the price of Amazon stock will always have to rise because dividends are not paid. the fundamental value of the stock is not determined by the dividends paid, but by the present value of future profits. purchasing stock is better than purchasing bonds because stockholders are the first in line to get paid if the company goes bust. buying a few shares will give you a significant say in how Amazon will be run in the future.
