These assets include: shares of companies, these is the most common, is like buying part of a company. They can also be financial index, it is like buying a package of actions made by shares of the most influential companies. Or commodities as can be oil, natural gas, gold, silver, corn, wheat, etc. also currencies like the dollar, the euro, the pound sterling, Japanese yen, up to the Mexican peso. And other types of assets that are commonly known as derivatives. Options, warrants, treasury notes, volatility, etc.
