The return on a stock investment comes from dividends and price appreciation. Although neither is guaranteed, both have the potential for growth in the future. This is in distinct contrast to investments in debt vehicles that guarantee future payments but offer little or no possibility of a return that 's higher than promised.

investors are rational and risk averse, meaning they will always value securities with higher returns than securities with lower returns.

As a new investor and with the current state of the United States economy, my investment objectives will be centered around a significant level of capital appreciation, as well as marketability, liquidity, and a substantial level of safety. As a college student, I will be looking to analyze and invest in stocks that I will be able to hold for many years and that also provide growth. I will reinvest dividends that I earn back into my portfolio to purchase additional securities that will add to the growth and diversification of my portfolio. Day- to- day fluctuations in price will not affect my opinion of any specific securities, but if a stock shows constant decline over a long period of time, I will be forced to

The analysis of this paper will derive the validity of the Fama and French (FF) model and the efficiency of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The comparison of the Fama and French Model and CAPM (Sharpe, 1964 & Lintner, 1965) uses real time data of stock market to practise its efficacy. The implication of the function in realistic conditions would justify the utility of the CAPM theory. The theory suggests that the expected return demanded by investors on a risky asset depends on the risk-free rate of interest, the expected return on the market portfolio, the variance of the return on the market portfolio, and

Gittman (2004, pp. 312) divided stock into two types, such as common stock and preferred stock. He also showed that dividends are the outcome of investment. So, common stocks are an ownership claim against primarily real or productive asset (Higgins, 1995), but he also said that if the company prospers, stockholders are the chief beneficiaries, if it falters, they are the chief losers. Smith (1988) presented that stocks are one of the most popular forms of investment. People buy stocks for various reasons: some are interested in the long-term growth of their investment by buying low priced stock of a new company in the hope of substantially growth of share price over the next few years. Another reason he suggested that in a well established firm stockholders expect the stock growth will be stable over the long run. (Smith,1988).

Supply and demand is perhaps one of the most fundamental concepts of economics and it is the backbone of a market economy. Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand relationship. Supply represents how much the market can offer. The quantity supplied refers to the amount of a certain good producers are willing to supply when receiving a certain price. The correlation between price and how much of a good or service is supplied to the market is known as the supply relationship. Price, therefore, is a reflection of supply and demand.

The above graph is used to represent a high and a low risk investment. As it describes, a high-risk investment may at first seem to be a very bad investment, but will become a high return investment after a short time. However, for a low risk investment, there will also be positive returns, but not so significant, as those of a high-risk investment.
