    If you want to impress your teacher:
    "I saved $200 and since I am young I want to make right now a long term risky investment, what would be your suggestion?"

    If you want to impress your colleagues:
    "What are the tricks companies can do to artificially increase their stock value? Is it effective?"

    and at least, if you want to surprise the palestrant:
    "Are you pleased being a financial advisor?"

    Excellent luck ;)

    There are literally TONS of books on this. Try to go to a book store or just search it on the internet.

    Try the wikipedia link below as well.

    Here is a fantastic question about the stock market for a financial advisor. Since, over the long term, low cost index funds outperform actively managed funds, why would anyone invest in an actively managed fund?

    1. are financial advisors a waste of money

    2. what would you tell a 21 year ancient to invest in for the next 10 years and what would the expected rate of return be

    3. Who manages your money and what was your rate of return during the last 5 years.
