Invest money in shares

Anyone who invests money in individual shares must be aware that their investment is always also a bet on the rising price of precisely this share. This can work out well: Shareholders always make very handsome profits with shares, especially after a price crash like the one caused by the Corona crisis. But it can also go wrong - and the value of the share can plummet within a short time. If things go badly, it doesn't recover either, and the money is gone. Expected returns are therefore highly volatile. Consequently, the basic rule is that you should only invest in individual stocks if you can do without the money invested there.
