Investors today have a wide range of choices: stocks, bonds, mutual funds, Treasury securities (including savings bonds), options, commodities, commodity futures, real estate investment trusts (REITs), variable annuities and many more. You must investigate before you invest—and remember that every investment involves some degree of risk. These securities are not insured by the federal government if they fail—even if you purchase them through a bank or credit union that offers federally-insured savings accounts. Make sure you have answers to all of these questions before you invest.
