Ayatollah Khomeini: During the 1970s, the Shah faced growing opposition led by the religious leader,
Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1979, Khomeini, with the support of Islamic fundamentalists, overthrew the Shah
in an Islamic Revolution. The new government took an official anti-American stance and Iran became an
Islamic republic. The government changed from a monarchy [ruled by a king] to a theocracy (ruled by
religious law). Khomeini developed a new constitution in which the people would elect a president.
However, the most powerful leader in Iran, even more powerful than the president, was the Supreme
Leader. The Supreme Leader is a powerful post filled by a Muslim official and has both political and
religious control over the nation.

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
