Interest rates apply to debt securities. If you invest in debt securities, you will earn interest on that investment until the security matures.
How does this compare to an equity security? How do investors earn a return on equity securities? Do any of the debt security risks apply to equity securities?
Which type of security do you feel is more risky? Debt or equity?
Consider all of these questions in your response. Feel free to do some brief internet research to help you form your answer.
As always, make sure your response is 2-3 good sized paragraphs.
