Common Investment Tools - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Investing in the Stock Market Investing in the stock market is a lot like baking a cake. You need a lot of different ingredients in the right combinations to do well. So, making a portfolio in the stock market, you have bonds and you have stocks. You’ve got different kinds of stocks: you’ve got large cap stocks, small cap stocks, international; in bonds, you’ve got government bonds, corporate bonds and international bonds. This is a lot like baking a cake; you’ve got flour, that might be like your stocks, sugar might be bonds; but you’ve also got vanilla, oil, the various things that you need in smaller quantities to round out the whole. So, when you put together a portfolio, you’re building something that’s going to create wealth over a long period of time, and that’s what’s important. Rather than having to try and make a cake out of all sugar or all flour, you really need to mix your different investments so that you get the right portfolio.
