Question

Accepted Answer

Stocks, bonds, and debentures are all types of investments that allow individuals to earn money by lending money to companies or governments.

Stocks represent ownership in a company and provide the potential for capital gains and dividends.
Bonds are debt securities that represent a loan made by an investor to a borrower, typically a company or government, and provide a fixed rate of return.
Debentures are similar to bonds but are unsecured, meaning they are not backed by collateral, and typically have a higher interest rate to compensate for the increased risk.
Investors can buy and sell stocks and bonds on stock exchanges, while debentures are typically sold through private placements.
The value of stocks, bonds, and debentures can fluctuate based on market conditions and the financial health of the issuer.
