Stock Market For Beginners

By John Border

We all dream of the day when we can be in our house sitting on a sofa sipping nice tea along with an assortment of cookies and in the meantime you know that every minute there is money rolling into your bank account . Talk of good times and if wishes were horses then everybody would ride them.

Yes, in theory the above can be true but there are two ways to do that , the first one to start a company, make it profitable, sell a a majority share to somebody else then reap the fruits of your labor through that minority holding in that company. The other way is less labor and you can get started with as little as $1000.

Start investing in a company you like on the stock market,once you own the shares you become the part owner of the company even through the part ownership may be only .002% of the company. But hey, you are still an owner and as you learn the stock market basics, take some risks, reap some rewards you can play bigger and become an owner of a bigger part of the company.

Stock markets are an easy thing to learn and master if you have the will and the patience. You do not require huge amounts of money to start making money in the markets. It will be your risk bearing attitude that will make the difference.

Let us get the initial understanding of what is a stock? I will take an example of a company called XYZ, newly formed and into the business of selling shirts. This company XYZ will need money to buy machinery, raw material, pay for employees salary etc and the money will come in the form of loans, money from friends and family and also you sell some part of the company to other persons or companies. How do you part with ownership of the company is that you create shares or parts of the company for say $10 each .

Each share has some value based on the profits of that company and that means that you are netitled to that mush profits and well as dividends. If there are 100 shares each with value $1 then if you own 51 shares you are the majority shareholder of the company. Your holding will be worth $51 because the share price is $1.

Assuming you have $1 shares and 51 shares in a company ABC then you can sell those shares at a much better value than $1 value if the stock market thinks that the company is going to make good profits and they eare willing to pay you a higher pricer than the original value.

Stock exchange and stock markets are a lesson you need to know before you start investing.
