1 shares: "Shares" is the right answer. People can buy "shares" in a company as an investment, in the hope that the value of these shares will increase. However, shares can also fall in value! Example: "Kalvin Krime's share price has dropped below $1 for the first time in history".
2 dividend: A "dividend" is a yearly sum of money given to shareholders, generally based on the company's financial success. The total sum of money given depends on the price per share and the number of shares held by the stock holder.
3 upturn: "Upturn" is the term we were looking for. An "upturn" is an increase, or an improvement, especially after a quiet or unsuccessful period of time. Example: "The economic upturn is largely thanks to three huge companies building factories in our country".
4 disposable income: This is the right answer. A person's "disposable income" is the money they can spend on luxuries and leisure activities, once they have paid for essentials such as bills, food, and rent. Example: "I have more disposable income now that I have a job than when I was a student". An "income" generally refers to money received by a person as a salary.
