What investing actually is
60-second mental model.

A stock is a tiny piece of a company. If the company grows, your piece is worth more.

An ETF is a basket of hundreds of stocks. You buy one thing and own a slice of all of them. Less risk than a single stock.

Long-term growth means your money roughly doubles every 7–10 years on average — if you leave it alone. Boring. That's the point.

TL;DR: Buy a basket. Hold for years. Don't touch it.
