Congratulations on taking your first step toward building wealth over time. The stock market is a great tool for protecting and growing your hard-earned nest egg, and by deciding to take the leap, you already have an advantage. Nearly 30% of Americans don't invest in the stock market at all, according to Gallup data.
But maybe you haven't figured out your investing style yet. You might be a rule breaker at heart, keen to invest in tomorrow's biggest winners today. Or perhaps you would rather stick with proven value stocks, bound to build value at a modest pace without the risks of high-octane growth stocks.
