What ways were the Babylonian and Hittite empires alike?

The Babylonian empire had already established city-states in the Middle East, but the Hittites arrived with the intention of capturing land and establishing colonies. Because they could manufacture iron for weapons, the Hittites possessed a strong military. They were attacked by Mediterranean invaders known as sea people, as well as nomad tribes from the east, when famine struck them around 1200 B.C. The Babylonians were governed by invaders from 1595 B.C. to 625 B.C. until Nabopolassar, a general, drove them out and became king. Soon later, their massive new kingdom developed.

explanation:  

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
