3 Stocks for Beginning Investors
If you're just getting started investing in stocks, it may seem intimidating. After all, you're putting your money at risk and have absolutely no guarantee that you will get a positive return on that money. An important part of getting past that concern is to recognize what a share of stock really is: It's a small ownership stake in a company. As a shareholder, over long periods of time, your returns should depend on how well the company performs, as long as you're able to buy your shares at a reasonable value.
The more straightforward it is to understand the underlying business, the easier it is to get a handle on how it makes money. The easier that is, the better your chances are of recognizing what a reasonable value is when you're investing. With that train of thought in mind, here are three stocks for beginning investors to consider as they begin what may become a lifelong journey of stock ownership.
