How to invest? [Free Topic]
I believe that this topic is important to be able to generate a change in society. Being able to invest will help to reduce the inequality gap that currently exists. On the other hand, that people achieve their financial freedom will improve the quality of life of people.
First we have to know what is a stock exchange, which is the market where you can buy and sell financial assets such as stocks, stock certificates, fixed income bonds, foreign exchange contracts, commodities, indices, etc.
When you invest, you can earn through interest, dividends or by selling them. Most of these actions can be done online. Below is a list of the world's major stock exchanges: The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was founded in 1817 in New York and is considered the world's leading stock exchange.

Indeed investment is crucial and broader education is required for different people around the world. There are open markets, which allows free trade and investment from foreigners, and there are some do not.
