Cds, Stocks, and bonds are 3ways to get money. But you need to be able to know what they are and how to use them.
First off we have Cds which stand for certificate of deposit. Cds are like savings accounts because they are risk free and are insured by the bank. Cds have fixed terms and have fixed interest rates and if you get a Cd they are supposed to be held in till the maturity which can be awhile, it matters how long the term is. So if you get a Cds it will be good to get it while you're young or get it for your children while their young. The good thing about Cds are that they are insured by the bank and also Cds have a fixed rate so they don't get raised and after the maturity rate ends you get more money then you put in. The bad thing is that you have to wait a long time to wait for the maturity rate to end and if you need that money then you won't get all the money you could get.
Bonds are a debt security in which the issuer 0wes the holders a debt and is obliged to pay interest or pay at a latter date. Bonds are formal contracts to get borrowed money with interest at fixed intervals. So bonds are like loans but it gives the borrower with external funds or finance current expenditure. Bonds are different from cds because you are taking a risk when getting one. The co. that you are getting a bond from could be shut down and they don't have to give you're the money cause it is not insured. Also the rates are not fixed and can go up. The good thing about it is that bondholders have a creditor stake in the co your in.they are like cds cause they have a maturity . They are like stocks cause they both have securities.
Stock is the subscribed capital of a corporation or limited-liability company, divided into shares and is represented by transferable certificates there are more then one type of stock but the most common is common stock. Common stock makes your have a share of the co. you're buying from and you get money form the co. you get stock from, which is interest in the cos. earnings and assets. You also have voting rights that can vote in a new Coe. Stock is like a CD cause it takes awhile to get money out of it. They are like bonds because they are risky and if you don't know what you're doing you could lose a lot of money and also its not insured. The bad things about stock are that it is not insured. Also it takes a while to get real money and you really have to know what you're doing. Also it hard to get a share of a stock that is any good and it cost a lot for the good ones.
