Stock Market-basic types of investments

here are three basic types of investments:

• Ownership investments – these are ownership in a business whether you are a full, part time or silent partner.
• Lending investments – this means you lend your money to an organization that pays you back with interest. They could also be in the form of certificates of deposit and the money is then invested elsewhere and you get a share of the profits generated from the return.
• Cash Equivalents – this investment can easily be converted to cash such as mutual funds savings accounts, etc.
