Stocks

When you purchase stocks in a company, you are buying part ownership, or shares, in that company. Investing in individual securities outside of mutual funds can generate increased returns for more sophisticated investors.

• Stock prices usually reflect the earnings experience of the company and generally, the higher the potential return, the greater the risk.
• The advantage of being a stockholder, is that you share in the profits of the company you hold stock in.
• Stock prices are dependent on a number of variables including the time of year, the economy and how well the company is doing in the public eye.
• There are several different kinds of stock which pay a different percentage of dividends to stockholders.
• Consider buying stocks as part of your mutual fund portfolio.

Bonds

Bonds are a debt investment whereby you loan money to companies and other entities for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate—basically an IOU.

• Although they may seem to offer an insignificant return compared to the stock market, their safety and security can be invaluable during uncertain economic times.
• Unlike stocks, bonds do not entitle the Bondholder to a share in the companies profits.
• Bonds do carry some risk in that the promised payment may not be made.
• Bonds, similar to common stocks, fluctuate in market value and, if sold prior to maturity, may produce a gain or a loss in principal value. 

Capital dividend accounts are special accounts that small businesses and corporations use to pay dividends to their shareholders tax-free.
