And a lil’ disclaimer: If you’re considering making an investment, keep in mind that it does involve risk. No stock is a sure thing and you could lose money. To protect yourself, don’t invest money that you’re going to need anytime soon and learn everything you can about the market before you make any big moves. While it’s exciting to see some people make big gains in popular investments, it’s also a good idea to do your own research and make investments that suit your budget, goals, and tolerance for risk.
