2. Which of the following best describes the practice of compulsory voting in Australia? a. Citizens do not have to vote.
b. Citizens of all ages are allowed to vote.
C. Citizens must vote unless there is a good reason, such as illness.
d. Citizens must vote and there is no reason accepted why they should not.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk

geography
