So i listen to alot of financial podcasts amd they always run the hypothetical that your getting 8% compound interest on a principal ammount. A high yield account at a bank only gives 3.5% so where are these people investing to safely get double the interest?

Hypothetically coca cola stock pays dividends of 3.5%. About the same as a bank CD. why invest rhe money then? Why not put it into a cd? Theoretically the stock could deflate and you would lose value...
