And then on the other hand, you have value stocks, which are kind of the opposite.
They tend to be more sort of old school, things like banks, utilities, oil producers, consumer staples companies.
They're things that tend to grow at a slower pace, but have a sort of steadier business nature.
And in bad economic times, investors tend to think of these stocks as being the type of things that hold up pretty well just because they have sort of more of a stable business.
And they also tend to pay out dividends at a greater rate than growth stocks.
Dividends are basically payouts that companies will give to investors.
And typically, it'll be a quarter by quarter basis.
So once they've wrapped up the quarter, and they know how their sales have come in and what their bottom line looks like, they can pay out dividends to their investors who hold the shares.
And the payout for the dividends depends from company to company.
You know, some companies are known for giving out very heavy dividend payouts and
And for increasing dividend payouts year after year, they tend to be called dividend aristocrats.
And then other companies have less of a focus on their dividend payouts.
But that is a sort of another debate, I think, within the investing world, whether or not it's worth focusing your investments in companies that return dividends.
Because while a dividend payout is a sort of very attractive proposition from the standpoint of someone
wanting to get some kind of return on a quarter by quarter basis, there is an argument to be made by some investors that companies are actually better served over the long term, putting their money back into themselves, into research and development.
And so that's sort of another, I think, debate that you'll often see here in the investing world, whether dividend paying companies are
of better use to investors and more sort of growth focused companies that tend not to pay out these dividends.
So an ETF is an exchange traded fund, and essentially it allows the investor to hold on to more than just one thing at a time.
Instead, you're buying a basket full of things.
So you could buy an ETF focused on tech stocks, and it might have 50 different tech stocks in it.
