How investing actually works
What a market really is, where a return comes from, and why prices move the way they do. Start here if the vocabulary itself is the obstacle.
Most explanations of investing start with products. This one starts earlier.
A market is not a line on a chart. A return is not owed to anyone. A price is not a verdict on what something is worth. Get those three straight and most of what follows stops being mysterious.
Nothing here assumes you already invest.
