How Stock Investing Works
9:42 AM
The question of the day is whether investing in stocks is an idea that will work for you or not. If you compare stocks to bonds they have earned people more money in the past. As a stock holder you will own part of the business you have bought stock in.
When you invest in stocks you are supplying money to a company and in turn you will have partial ownership in this company. Common stocks are what most people will deal with when they become involved in the stock market. These are the stocks that no restrictions are placed on and any one is able to buy.
Buying of stock will place you as a shareholder in the company. This is just the way to say you've placed money into stock and now have some say in business decisions. As a business grows the cost of stock will increase, and you will earn money.
As part owner of the business you also will vote in decisions that are made for the company. You will vote when the board of directors is placed together, and you may well have a huge say in which way the company goes in many decisions.
Though you will not always see the pluses when it comes to investing in stocks. If the company hits a rough time or goes out of business you will lose money. At times you may even lose everything you've invested in those stocks.
Different types of stock are available. As an example we will talk about a family owned company. If they may want to bring in extra funds they will create another class of stock. These stocks may only entitle the holder to one vote, while the class of stock the family holds will be worth 10 votes. However, they have found a way in which more money can come into the business.
