谈论股票
（奥立弗和彼得正在谈论股票。）
奥立弗：彼得，我忍不住开了个网上交易账户，股票价格正在疯涨。
彼得：可以理解。没有人能够对钱说“不”。你打算买哪支股票？
奥立弗：你有没有听说过最新上市的科技股，我正在考虑。
彼得：我知道，我表哥一天之内在这上面赚了一大笔。
奥立弗：太好了，他真走运。
彼得：我可不是鼓励你。要知道，奥立弗，股票市场是流动闲散资金的好地方，但是有风险的。注意要量力而行。
奥立弗：谢谢你，彼得，真的。我会分散我的投资的。
彼得：分散？
奥立弗：今天的市场中分散投资很重要。一般来说，将一部分投资到债券和基金，三分之一的钱投资股票。
彼得：接着说，奥立弗。
奥立弗：债券和基金是相对比较安全的投资，股票有风险。
彼得：谢谢你的建议。
