Answer to Question 1

As long as people have different opportunity costs of producing goods or services, total output is higher with specialization and trade than if each individual produced goods and services under self-sufficiency. This increase in output is the gains from trade.

Answer to Question 2

 Some investors purchase Apple shares directly and hold them in a brokerage account.
 Most investors buy pre-mixed pools of assets, called mutual funds.A mutual fund is a pool of money that is collected from many investors. Mutual funds typically invest in hundreds of stocks, bonds, and/or short-term money market instruments.
