2 Stocks for Beginning Investors
Getting started with investing is intimidating for many people. Indeed, beginning investors often face a wall of indecipherable financial lingo in addition to the risk of losing their hard-earned cash on a bad stock. What's more, if you try to learn by cracking open a book on the subject, you're liable to find that many of the examples are out of date or seemingly inapplicable to the current state of the world.
The best trick for new investors is to invest in stocks that you understand. If you can't summarize how a company makes money in one sentence, steer clear. The second trick is to pick companies that have a highly repeatable business model that doesn't require taking the risk of innovation. Let's take a look at two great stocks that illustrate these principles and that you could also feel good about purchasing right now.
