1. Companies Give Stocks To Raise Money
In most cases, the company needs money to expand or to acquire new properties. Each stock issue is limited to a certain number of shares, and when they are issued they are given a par value. The value of a companys stock is often directly related to it's market share.
2. Buy Low, Sell High
If you are going to buy stocks, make sure you invest in a company that you believe will be growing soon. Investors who acquire stock in a new company are taking more of a risk than buying shares of well-established companies but the potential gain is much greater. For example, those who invested in Microsoft and held onto them are quite wealthy today.
3. How Is Trade Done?
Trade actually happens at stock exchanges such as the NYSE or NASDAQ. Only reputable, and listed, companies can have shares bought, sold, or traded. As an investor, you will need a broker to make your transactions for you. You can tell your broker to sell once the stock reaches a certain price or simply to sell what the market will bear. Your broker will get a commission for the sale.
4. Why Stocks Over Other Investments?
- Stocks grow over time
- Stocks give you rights to vote as a shareholder
- Dividends give you money once or twice a year
- You will never owe money if the company goes bankrupt
- Can earn more money than any other savings investment
