Historically, stocks have provided the greatest appreciation of any income class. On average, stocks have provided about +10% per year. Investing in stocks provides additional risk, however. If a company files for bankruptcy protection, it is likely a shareholder will receive nothing back for the shares of the company that they own. If investing in stocks, be smart and diversify (buy several stocks) or set stop losses to prevent a complete loss of capital.
