Investment basics

Investing means putting money into assets expecting returns over time, and the basics amount to understanding that stocks represent ownership, bonds represent lending, and diversification reduces the damage when any single bet fails. Start here: know your time horizon, know how much volatility you can sleep through, and know that most people lose money by trading too much rather than too little.
