Your friend Jasmina is excited that you took personal finance this semester andcomes to you for investing advice. She tells you:

"I'm totally new to investing. I kind of know what a stock and

bond are but I don't really know which specific ones to invest in. I remember

playing the stock market game in school so I know the way to invest is to

select individual stocks to put your money in! But, I don't know WHERE I go to

actually start investing! When I started my job, our HR department told me that

they offer a 401(k) plan and do a dollar-for-dollar match up to 3%...although I

don't know what any of that actually means. I've also heard a lot of crazy

stories in the news about individual stock prices just plummeting because of an

unforeseen event, and I'm super worried that I'll lose my money. What should I

do? Where do I start?"
