Introductory about investments: In many ways, investments are a list of different instruments that you can use on the stock exchange, such as: stocks, bonds, funds, real estate funds, silver, gold and many others. Each of these tools has its own characteristics of risk and reward, which we will talk about later. To start investing, you just need to register a brokerage or investment account with one of the brokers or banks (Tinkoff, Sberbank, BCS, Alfa-Bank, Finam Trade and others). The process of registering and opening an account takes one day, and work with it is free, as well as maintenance, you pay only for the purchase of tools.
