When companies make a profit they divide it up and pay some of it to the shareholders of the business as a dividend (usually once a year but sometimes less frequently). If you own shares in a company you will effectively receive a share of the profits every time they pay out a dividend. |

If a company has 1,000 shares and you buy one... you are now the owner of one-thousandth of that company. If they do well, you will be rewarded. If they decide to pay a dividend, you will get rewarded a 2nd time.. |

You buy shares, the company invests your money, makes a load of profit and gives you a dividend. The more profits they make, the more the value of the shares goes up and then you can sell your shares and make loads of money. |

If you are a novice, it is most advisable you don't try.
There are a lot of shares around. Some shares are stable. Their price don't change so quickly. Some change quickly.
For shares whose price change quickly, you buy them at their lowest. Then when their price go up, you sell them. You earn the difference.
There are also shares whose price don't change quickly. They can also be expensive. For these shares. you buy them to keep. Their companies will distribute a portion of the companies' profits to you. These are called dividends. |

Whilst the other posts are true, the statement that share price goes up is not necessarily true, as those who have shares will know in the current "economic climate".
Most shares on the stock market have lost much value lately and this is reflected in the Dow Jones index, Nikkei, FTSE and all the rest around the globe; the premise that because they are cheap now does not mean they will not drop even further.
I have had shares in a bank in the UK taken from me by the government so all that is lost, other banks having difficulty were subsequently given cash by the government in return for control of those banks so shares are relatively safe.
The current Chancellor of the Exchequer in England is an idiot and knows not what he is doing as with Railtrack but that is a different story.
There are also what are known as "Penny Shares" where you literally pay pennies for shares in new emerging companies in the hope they will prosper and make you a bundle.
Several years ago a guy called Asil Nadir, a Turkish Cypriot, had business interests as diverse as electronics, fruit and hotels within his Polly Peck empire but when the value of the shares reached an all time high he absconded with untold millions back to Turkish controlled Cyprus; everyone lost their savings and he cannot be extradited.
The trick to make money is not to think the value of shares will spiral upwards and you will have money invested to retire on, but to let them |
