But I would definitely like it to be safe. M: Well, since you are a risk-averse investor, I strongly advise you to buy government bon
24、ds. Stocks and corporate bonds are too risky. Q: What will the woman probably invest in according to the dialog? Question 2 M: I often hear the term stock indexes. How do they work? I know the Nasdaq index is roughly the average value of all the stocks on that exchange. But what about the Dow? W: Th
25、e Dow Jones Industrial Average covers 30 well-known industrial stocks. The editors add up the prices and divide by 30. Its a snapshot of the market at a given time. Q: What can we know about the two stock indexes from the dialog? Question 3 M: Youre probably right: One can make money on the stock ma
26、rket. But theres the chance of a 1929-type crash with another Great Depression bringing worldwide misery. W: Problems that caused that crash have largely been solved.

29、utual fund can also buy or sell shares of a companys stock. A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who invest in mutual funds are also known a
30、s shareholders because a unit of ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some cases, bonds. The funds shareholders are indirect investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the
31、 stocks of many companies in its portfolio, shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock market. Most mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, the investment management company sponsoring t
32、he fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund. A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy
33、 or sell these shares through a stock exchange. The sponsor does not buy back or issue shares after a closed-end fund is launched, so the investor must trade them through a broker. ScriptLet us pretend for a moment that the year is 1997 and youre in the market for a new laptop computer. You want the
34、 top-of-the-line product at the time, so you opt for the newly released Apple Computer PowerBook G3 250 laptop. This revolutionary piece of technology, which comes with a 250-megahertz processor and a whopping 5 gigabytes of storage, will set you back $5,700. If you held onto that laptop until today
35、 you would probably be able to sell it on eBay for about $50. Now imagine that instead of buying the Apple PowerBook in 1997, you decided to spend $5,700 on Apple stock. You would have done a little better. Indeed, today your Apple stock would be worth $330,563. Probably makes you think twice about
36、buying that laptop. Kyle Conroy, a computer science student at the University of California, Berkeley, has hundreds of other examples on his personal Website that show what would have happened if you had decided to purchase Apple stock, which is at around $350 a share Thursday, instead of buying the
37、 companys products when they were announced. Of course some purchases were more fruitful than others. The iPod Shuffle, which was released in 2008, would have netted you only a $40 profit. But if you go back to 2001 and, instead of paying $400 for the first generation iPod with the now-iconic scroll wheel, and instead decided to buy the company stock, you would have made a profit of over $11,500. Now if you had spent $3,500 for Hewlett-Packard stock in 1997 instead of an H-P laptop, youd have shares worth $4,560. 专心-专注-专业
