This week's challenge

Pick one real company you use, look up its price today vs one year ago โ€” would $100 invested then be up or down now?

Find an index fund and why owning 500 companies beats 1
Find the news event behind its biggest 1-year drop
Decide: does real investing reward fast or patient behaviour?
