What you should hear

A stock is a small piece of a company, not a loan. Ten shares at $20 cost $200. At $25 they are worth $250. The $50 difference is a 25 percent gain before fees and taxes. Prices move because buyers and sellers change their orders. The price can fall. Diversification can soften one failure. It does not remove risk.
