What is an investor?<\/h2>\n

          \n
        • Stable investors<\/strong>: those who allocate their funds to long-term permanent investments, with the intention that they revalue over time.<\/li>\n

              \n
            • Risky investor<\/strong>Investors of this nature like to obtain the highest possible returns in the short term, largely ignoring risk considerations. Here could be located all those people who are investing large amounts of money in cryptocurrencies, more especially in Bitcoins. Certainly in this context you can find individuals who have had very high profits for such investments, but due to its pronounced and constant price variations, the field of cryptocurrencies can be considered as the most volatile stock market that exists, which is not controlled or regulated by any governmental or paragovernmental authority.<\/li>\n
            • Public Offer of Acquisition (OPA)<\/strong>: purchase of a company by another that normally materializes through the acquisition of the majority of its capital in the stock market. This type of operation is also called absorption, or take over<\/em> for its term in English, and its objective is to obtain the majority shareholding of the organization to control the operational and financial decision-making of the acquired company, which generally opposes that purchase; so this investment is often known as a hostile takeover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n
