Answer:

to earn a dividend

to earn capital gains

Explanation:

Stocks represent ownership in a corporation. Shareholders are entitled to share in the profits of the business. The portion of profits that shareholders get for contributing capital is the dividend.

Investing in stocks makes one a shareholder and gives them the right to dividends. Investors always select the stocks of companies likely to declare high dividends. Dividends is an important reason why investors opt for shares or stocks.

Stocks of corporations that are performing well financially are likely to increase in price. Investors buy stocks when prices are low and selling them when prices appreciate. That way, they can profit through capital gain.

Dividends and capital gains are the rewards that investors gain from stocks. Interest is earned on deposits and loans.
