新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)視聽說(shuō)教程第三冊(cè) Unit 10 Let’s Talk

Gregory: I’ve been thinking about getting into the stock market, but I don’t know where to start. What do you know about buying stocks?

Sylvia: Well, I have a few investments, so I know a little about it. Now it is probably a good time to invest. The market is low; prices are probably pretty good.

Gregory: So you mean it’s high time to enter the market? What kind of stock do you suggest?

Sylvia: I won’t recommend any specific stock. You have to make the decision on your own. If you want to make money quickly, you could try speculating.

Gregory: What do you mean by speculating?

Sylvia: You buy stocks that go up quickly for a fast profit.

Gregory: Isn’t that risky? Stocks that go up fast also tend to go down fast.

Sylvia: You just have to guess how high they’ll go, and then sell when you think they are about to come down. If you guess right, you can make lots of money in the blink of an eye.

Gregory: But I hear that many people guess wrong. When they think the market is already very low, they start to buy. Then the market continues to drop.

Sylvia: In that case you will lose your shirt. But to make money, you have to take changes.

Gregory: Hmm, I’m not much of a gambler.

Sylvia: So you probably want to stick to blue chip stocks for a guarantee return on your investment.

Gregory: That sounds right up my alley.
