Read the paragraph.
Stocks and bonds are two different types of investments people can make with their money. Stocks are portions of companies, and when investors buy stocks, they become partial owners of those companies. As the values of the companies increase or decrease, the investors carn or lose money. Bonds are loans that investors make to organizations. When investors buy bonds, they agree to lend their money under the condition that the organizations will later repay the money with interest. Generally, bonds are safer investments, but stocks offer more money-earning potentials.
