TROY, Mich. , Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Editorial Advisory and Securities Review Committeeof BetterInvesting Magazine today announced Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) as its "Stock to Study" and Ball Corp (NYSE: BALL) as its "Undervalued Stock" in the January 2025 issue for investors' informational and educational use.

The organization remains concerned about the number of Americans who are investing for the future. "Too many Americans hesitate to invest, waiting for what they believe is the perfect moment, such as after the election, or for other reasons, missing out on the benefits of compounding.
