Answer:

Explanation:

Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments

In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income

In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income

Automatic stabilizers contrasts with discretionary fiscal policies.

Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.

Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary

Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.

Speculative investments are high-risk investments with the possibility of high returns in a short period of time.

bixtya [17]

True. Risk in investment can be defined as the possibility that the investor may lose a big portion or all of the initial investment or make very high returns in a short period. Risk which is often likened to volatility dictates that the higher the volatility the higher the chances of returns. Speculative investments such as leveraged ETFs(commodities such as gold, oil, silver), options, venture capital trusts are considered high risk and often so offer handsome returns or cost the investor all or even more of their initial capital. It is however important to note that high risk does not automatically translate into high returns. The intrinsic value of the investment vehicle among other factors need to be considered in depth to determine if the investment is worth the risk
