  Financial planner tip of the day  
  "A stock is essentially a small piece of a company. Investors can buy stock, and in doing so, become shareholders of that specific company. Money can be earned in two ways, through the stocks value growing over time, as well as dividends, if applicable. Investing in stocks can offer the potential to earn a high rate of return in the long term, but that potential comes with some risk. They're one of the more volatile forms of investing for the short and medium term."
