Stocks Basics 202: What does Investing on Stocks mean?

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Investing on stocks will make your money work for you or in other words- your money will increase without you doing anything. In this way, you can focus on building your other assets and earning other forms of income. This article is to equip you with the knowledge on the basics of stocks investing.

What does investing on stocks mean and how is it different from investing your money in the bank? Investing on stocks is when you buy a share from a publicly listed company. This action will make you part-owner of that company and enjoy exclusive privileges such as voting rights. Your money will increase in percentage as the company enjoys higher profits at a given time. However, you may also lose a certain percentage or your money may have the possibility of not earning anything if the company suffers losses.

It differs from investing your cash at the bank because of several things, first is because: banks have taxes payment and little annual percentage returns and is affected by the market inflation. Because of these factors, you may be left with little or no growth value for your capital. Investing in banks guarantee you with maximum security for your money, but you are subjected to minimal returns because of this. There is little to no risk of losing your money that is invested in a bank.

Investing in stocks left some people think twice about it since you allow your investment to operate on involved risks. If youre a just starting and would like to try your hand at stocks, it is advisable for you to start investing with an amount you are most comfortable in losing (if ever it happens). It is advisable to play it safe first especially if youre a beginner and practice on investing with a capital where you are most comfortable with.

When you have plans on investing in stocks it is advisable for young people to start now when they will have a lot of time to recover than start later (a few years before retirement), although there is another argument in here which I will discuss later. - 23226
