security
A security is a financial instrument like a stock or bond that you can own or trade. It represents either a loan you made or a small piece of ownership in something.
Where it is explained in full
Roth or traditional: two jars, one tax bill. Pay the tax now or pay it later. That is the whole choice, and it turns on one number nobody knows: what your tax rate will be when you are old.
A definition says what a thing is; it never says whether it fits you. The guides explain how it works and name the professional who confirms it for a particular person. The No Advice Disclosure.
