Stock Tips For The Beginners

By Anna Kirtsen

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.

No risk and no gain is the mantra. Stock market is not for the faint hearted. You should strive to make good money out of the stock markets by investing in a particular stock. Your shareholding will be less but then you do not worry about the stock holding but about when you will make good money by selling your stake.

Before you take your cheque book out and start looking at companies to buy for $1000 , you should know the stock market basics and then start investing to make more money. It is absolutely very important to understand all the stock market terms and technical lingo which gets thrown around quite a bit to make some serious money in the market.

A share represents part ownership of the company and that ownehsip is called share. In simple English language a share is a portion which you can claim as yours. That is why share are called as such. Each share represenst the percentage of ownership that you have in the company.

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.

Now let us assume that you are the person who bought 49 shares of the company XYZ at a price of say $10 only, the company is making decent amount of profits, then you would like to sell those 49 shares to someone who is willing to pay more than $10 to you. The place where you could Ideally go to buy or sell something is a market and that is what a stock exchange is all about, a place to market your shares or let us say either buy or sell the shares of the company XYZ.

This is in simple terms what is a stock and what is a stock exchange.
