Could you help me understand the different types of investments I can make?

There are many different types of investments you can make. Common examples include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, index funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options, Treasury bills and notes, and more. Some investments are more long-term, while others are shorter-term and focus on making a profit quickly. Additionally, certain investments carry more risk than others, so it is important to understand the associated risks with each type of investment before committing.
