Question 6 • Economics

Angela is considering buying stock in a popular computer software company whose price has dropped significantly in the last year. Why might this be a wise move for Angela to make?

Answer
A
because her investment will be guaranteed by the government if the company fails
B
because it is smart to buy when prices are low and sell when prices are high
C
because the company will rebound because she likes to use the products they sell
D
because it is smart to buy when prices are high and sell when prices are low

Explanation

A stock’s price being low may give Angela an opportunity to buy at a lower cost and potentially sell later if its price rises. This is the principle of buying low and selling high, so choice B is correct. The investment is not guaranteed by the government, and liking the company’s products does not guarantee that its stock price will recover.
