Difference between Life Insurance and Medical Insurance

We have previously discussed the importance of medical insurance. However, when we think of insurance, life insurance often comes to mind. These two insurances serve different purposes. Today, we'll learn about the basic differences between life insurance and medical insurance. Additionally, we'll explore whether insurance can be considered an investment.

Face value, Book Value, Market Value

We often hear the saying, "Don't jump into something without understanding it fully." This applies to investing in the stock market as well.

Today, we will learn about three key values in the stock market: Face Value, Book Value, and Market Value Face Value: The face value of a company refers to the initial value of a share when the company is started.  For instance, if $10,000 is invested in a company and it is divided into 1,000 shares, the face value of each share is $10.
