​Sometimes a person wants to start a company...but lacks the money. They can get people to invest in their good ideas...for a part of the company.

​They can list it on the stock market and the value of the company can go up and down.

​Now the investors own a piece of the pie (company)...Yummm!

​But what happens if bad things happen? Rats!!!!

​You need to pay attention to the news...what should you do?

​Sell...and sell fast...let someone else buy it from you.

​Before the price falls.

​But if you don't pay attention...the price may drop...and your piece of the pie shrinks.

​When people retire they may take some of their money and buy stocks and bonds to live off of.

​Investing in stocks is risky...they can go up and down.

​Just like a baloon.

​You need to do your research
