The Core Four, One Picture: Stocks, Bonds, ETFs, Indexes
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Picture a 2×2 grid: top = individual, bottom = bundles; left = companies, right = loans.
- Stocks sit top-left (individual companies); bonds sit top-right (individual loans).
- Indexes are blueprints/playlists; they belong on the bottom row as bundles of stocks or bonds.
- ETFs are tradable funds that usually try to follow an index by holding its underlying basket.
- Use the grid to place new products conceptually before you dig into details.
