Companies are divided into shares. If a company has 100 shares and you buy 1, you own 1% of that company. A thousand shares .1% etc.
You are buying the companies present worth + future earnings potential.


Unbiased.co.uk Find an IFA
Think of the stock market like a huge market stall where you got to buy goods you want and where you can barter on the price. The stock market allows companies listed on them to raise capital which is very important and a lot of these companies help us and the global economy with our daily lives, be it from eating and drinking to shaving etc. We can buy or sell companies shares with stock brokers or specialised leveraged betting firms. There is nothing we as private investors cannot have access to in terms of all the companies and asset classes out there so we have huge choices. The important thing to consider here is that buying one companies’ shares is the riskiest thing we can do as investors as we are solely betting on that one company to do well. A much better approach is to have a “diversified” approach and spread our money over different companies and different types of assets so we can eliminate some of the risks to our money. We would normally do this by way of certain funds or tracker funds which invest in many different companies.

Listen to the Financial Sense Broadcast on http://www.FinancialSense.com

These people have educated me about the stock market even though I have been investing for over 19 years I still learn stuff I never knew by listening to their broadcast every weekend.

Excellent information.

What Stephen said is the basic idea of how it works.

Share prices are speculative (a good reporting typically increases the share price and not necessarily the earnings report), ie what happened about 10years ago with the dotcom boom. No one can predict what will happen on a day to day basis, so if someone says they can that means they can read the future.
