by: Stephanie

Investing is a personal decision, and the best investments for one person may not be the same for another. However, there are several investment options that are generally considered favorable due to their potential for long-term growth and stability. Here are five popular investment choices:

Stocks: Investing in individual stocks allows you to own a portion of a company's shares, offering potential capital appreciation and dividends. It is important to research and choose what stock to invest in based on your risk tolerance, investment goals, and market analysis.

Bonds: Bonds are fixed-income securities where investors lend money to a government or corporation in exchange for regular interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. Bonds are generally considered less risky than stocks and can provide a steady income stream.

Real Estate: Real estate can be a lucrative long-term investment, whether through rental properties, commercial properties, or real estate investment trusts (REITs). Real estate investments can generate rental income and appreciate in value over time.

Mutual Funds: Mutual funds pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. They are managed by professional fund managers and offer diversification and professional expertise.

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): ETFs are similar to mutual funds but trade on stock exchanges like individual stocks. They provide diversification and are passively or actively managed, tracking specific market indexes or investment strategies.

Remember, investment decisions should align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. It is crucial to conduct thorough research, seek professional advice if needed, and diversify your portfolio to mitigate risk.

starstarstarstarstar 		Amazon Purchase of Pillpack
by: Stephanie

Thank you for your question about the investment that Amazon made into the Online Pharmacy PillPack.

Apparently, Amazon made an announcement this week that it is indeed buying PillPack.

Amazon has been making hints toward being interested in getting into the business of selling drugs online but ran into problems with individual states that are no longer the issue they used to be.

PillPack meanwhile has expressed excitement over the deal as well. The company started in 2013 and distributed pills in easy to use packages and has a national reach that made it attractive to Amazon to invest in.

Amazon has also been pushing to increase its medical supplies business, hoping to become a main supplier for hospitals and clinics and have already received licenses from several states to start selling medical equipment to businesses.

A previous attempt to get into the pharmaceutical industry in 1999 by purchasing a part of Drugstore.com got derailed, so we will see how this new investment by Amazon into PillPack goes.
