  2. The stock market is where stocks and bonds are traded. It is a way for companies to make money. Stocks can be used as a long term investment by just leaving your stocks with the company alone. You can earn money if the company is earning money. The risks of investing are that you might invest in a company that is not doing good and is eventually going to close. You will lose money if you don't sell your shares. The benefits to investing are that you can make a lot of money if your company makes a lot of money and you sell then. You have to sell with it is high and buy when it is low if you want to make money.

  3. Currently, the stock market has been declining, which is the drawback. The stock market is a place where stocks and bonds are traded, or bought and sold. Stocks are units of ownership in a company. There are risks involved, depending on how the company does. If the profits go up, you get to share in it but if it falls, so does the price of your stock. Stocks are the longest-term investment you can buy. When you invest, you are buying a piece of future of that company. You can keep that stock for a long time.

  5. One drawback of the stock market is that in recent years the stock market has seen substantial declines. The stock market is an every day term that is used to talk about a place where stocks and bonds are traded and those stocks are units of ownership in a company. Stocks are the longest term investment that you can buy. When you buy a stock in a company you are basically buying a piece of that company's future. That is yours as long as you want it. The main risk is that you dont know what is going to happen. You don't know what is going to happen on the stock market. The benefits are that you have it for as long as you want. THe uncertainty in the market can also be a benefit because that can cause you to earn a lot as well.

  6. The drawback to the stock market is that it has been declining and people are reluctant to invest in it. It is also very complicated to understand if you are new with investing. Stocks and bonds are traded there. Stocks are units of ownership of a company that are issued to help the company make money. They use the capital and stocks to maybe finance projects or expansions for the company or even if they just need a little money to help them out. If the company makes profit then the shareowner gets a part of it. If they lose money, the price of the stock falls. Stocks are the longest term investment because you are buying a piece of the company's future. You get profits until the business ends, which can be a long time. Risks of investing include that returns are not guaranteed and stocks can change value over time. Many stocks can change over time. Benefits include getting a higher return, investing in long-term tax advantage investments, and it is easily accessible. You are able to maintain a part in the company and be part of its future.

  7. Stocks are the long-term investment you can buy. The Stock market is an everyday term where stocks and bonds are traded. The drawbakc to the stock market economy is not too well right now and if you have invested quite a bit of money into it you may have lost some of you money. Some risks could be can be uncertainty of an outcome, another risk is that your money is not quite as safe in the stock market as it would be in CD. A few benefits could be to own a piece and share in growth of a company whose concept or strong future you believe in. A good example of that would be investing in income stocks. Owning stock may allow you the opportunity to earn money on money.

  8. Recently, the stock market has been declining. People are scared to invest their money. The stock market has been around for over 200 years.

    The stock market is where stocks and bonds are traded. Stocks are units of ownership in a company.The money that is received from investors who buy stocks is called equity capital. The reason that companies issue stock is so that they can raise money. They also may do it when they are looking for extra capital. If the amount of money the company makes goes up, you get part of those profits. If they make less money, the price of your stock goes down. Selling your stock on a day where the price is higher than what you paid for it would make you money.

    Stocks are the longest term investment you can buy. You are buying a piece of a companies future.

    Risks- The return of the stocks is not guranteed. There is a chance that you will lose money but you also may make money.

    Benefits- The return can sometimes be very high if the company you are invested in does well and you can make alot of money.

  9. 1) People aren't putting their money in. THey are reluctant to put it in because they are worried they wont get more out.

    2) You invest your money into companies and if they do well you sell your stocks for more than you bought them, making a profit on it. Over time, you will make money on these shares.

    3)You help invest in their future. You own a peice of that company. You decide how well the future of the company goes.

    4)Risk- uncertainty of outcome
    Reward- could get big bucks from it.

  10. The drawbacks to the stock market are obvioulsy that you can lose money real fast if your not careful with it. The stock market is where stocks of different companies are being bought and then sold. Companies sell stock in order to get money for expansion or even starting a new business. In return, the person who invests in this company, owns a share of the company. Stocks are a long term investment. It is yours until you dont want it anymore. You never know when it can turn for the worst, but high risk, high reward.

  11. The stock market at this point in time has proved to be very unstable and may not be a good place to invest because of that. The stock market in general is essentially a way for people to invest money into business and techically own a share in that business.so if they make money you make money. They lose money you lose money. Stocks are used as long term investments because imidiate payout doenst happen often. You need some time for that business to prosper and make money in order for you stock to increase in value. The risks of investing are that you may lose lots of money there is no garuntee you will get your money back chances are you will get something back but not always. Thats why its not always the best option.. With High Risk comes High Rewards or Big Losses

  12. Right now it's not safe to invest in the stock marter because of our poor economy. All the stock market is is buying and selling stocks and bonds. The stock market is all about gaining money. Stocks can be used as long term investments when you keep them in a company for a long period of time. The benefit is that you have a chance to gain money if our economy does well. However, if our economy crashes while you own stocks, you will lose almost all of your money you put in.

  14. The drawback is that the stock market has been declining and people are worried they will loose their money if they invest in the stock market. The stock market is where stocks and bonds are traded. A stock is a fraction of ownership of a company. You buy stock in hopes that the company will make money so your stock will be worth more than what you bought it for. The risks of investing in the stock market is the chance that the companies you invest in may fail or decline, so then your stock is worth less than what you purchased it for. Can be a gamble, dont know what stocks will do, if they will go up or down.

  15. Currently the biggest drawback to the stock market is the fact that the money is not guaranteed and the stock market is very low and has been low now for a few years. The stock market is when you buy shares of the big businesses. When you buy a stock it is yours for the rest of your life. You own part of the company. They can be yours and can increase value over your lifetime. You can loose a lot of money but you may also make a bunch of money.

  16. One drawback is that the stock market is down becuase people are reluctant to start new portfolios and accounts. The stock market works through people paying money for parts of companies and in return the company will pay them if they do well. Stocks last as long as you keep them in the market, so they could be as long as the market is around. THe risks are that you can lose alot of money, the benefits are that you can make alot of money, and you own part of a company.

  17. -In recent years the stock market has seen substantial declines.
    -The stock market is an everyday term we use to talk about a place where stocks and bonds are traded. Stocks are units of ownership in a company. The sophisticated term for issuing stock to raise money is equity financing. The money received from investors who buy stocks is called equity capital. Companies issue stock to raise money. They use this money to finance expansions, pay for equipment or any other resource-intensive activity.
    -When you are investing in a company stock, you buy a piece of its future. You now own a piece of all of that company's future profits until the end of time or the end of the business.
    -Risks--uncertainty of how your shares will end up; stock market crash; company fails
    -Benefits--company does really well; shares have great turnout; make a lot of money

  18. In recent years, the stock market has been taken a decline. Which despite that it is a perfect time for us youth to invest in it. BEing that all prices for stocks are down, there is no place to go but up. The stock market in general refers to the collective companies and their stocks. Stocks can be used as long term investments as you own a part of the company. It can't go anywhere. This can be risky because you can either gain or lose alot of money.
