    Right now blue chip stocks have huge volatilities. I've just been using those since I don't foresee them going bankrupt. That being said, 2 weeks ago, stocks were approaching their highs from before the CV crisis

    I do some calculating and buy stocks that are already cheap, but I'm pretty sure will grow back up later. so at most I'm just in the red by $15~ so right now

    Stonks? No.

    But Ai-chan does invest in government bonds.

    Corporate stocks can be very volatile and all it takes is just one dude making a big mistake for the stock price to fall. Ai-chan doesn't have time to sift through every news about availability and worker strikes involved in mining magnetite in Africa.

    But government bonds, they're pretty good. All you need to know is how much dividents the government promise to give you and the total amount you'll get at maturity. Of course, it could be possible for the government to suspend divident payment or be bankrupt before the maturity date and therefore refuse to pay back your money. But that's not your fault and by then you can simply pick up bear arms and rebel against the government because if they won't pay back what they owe you, it means they're too broke to stop you.

    Have a financial team to take care of all of that since I know nothing. Basically told them I wanted long-term investment into renewable energy tech, sustainable agriculture and pharmaceuticals. Last I checked we were doing well.
