If the share is quoted on the main London Stock Exchange market one broker will have been assigned to act as the Market Maker. That means that they are given preferential trading rights and in return they agree to act as a buyer when someone else wants to sell and the seller when someone else wants to buy.
You can't guarantee the price you will receive but there will always be someone there to buy them. As the last resort the Market Maker has to buy them off you. |

If you want to make sure you can confidently sell shares that you buy, whether they have increased or decreased in price, you will have to make sure you are buying shares that are liquid enough. Being liquid means that the share is actively traded with high enough daily volume and a narrow bid ask spread.
In my opinion, a high volume is a daily volume of above 100,000 and a narrow bid ask spread means a bid ask spread of no more than $0.30.
As long as the share is liquid enough, there will always be someone who will buy the shares that you think is good enough profit for you. Remember, no 2 person in the stock market share the same ideas. At any one time, there will always be people who are selling a share because they think it has risen enough and people who continue to buy because they think the trend will continue to go on and that makes the market.
Hope this helps.

If there is an active enough market for the shares, then there will be a buyer, but you may not always get the price you are looking for! When selling, make sure you use a limit order and mark your trade AON - All Or None. That means your whole order has to be sold at the price you indicate, or none of your shares are filled. Of course, this could mean that although your shares may trade at your price, you may not get filled. But what's life without a little risk?!
Also, there is supposed to be a buyer of exchange traded stocks, that's one of the functions of the specialist, to keep an open and liquid market and to buy stock when nobody else wants to. This is not the case with ECN or NASDAQ stocks. |

Hello,
I completely agree with wanting to invest your money. Afterall, what's the point of making money if you can't make more money with your money (got that?)? Anyway, I've tried all different investments from stocks and bonds to IRA's, 401k's, and real estate. I'm really a big fan of diversification.
However, the only investment I've really been happy with so far is real estate. Over the past 5 years, I've bought 3 different properties (all have tenants, and I'm making more than the mortgage payments on 2 properties).
The 3rd property I got was using Carleton Sheets no money down methodology (he's a GURU in real estate, and yes, his methods do work!). You can actually buy a property for absolutely nothing down (NO MONEY FROM YOUR OWN POCKET). I payed over $500 for his course 3 years ago, and I just saw it online for $9.95!!!! This is a steal at $9.95 (I'm actually going to buy it for my friends for Christmas). It was featured on TV, so I got the website from there.
Before you invest in anything, I highly suggest the Carleton sheets course. http://www.alllsite.info/real-estate.php |

You apparently know little about investing. That's not an insult, just a fact.
The stock market is driven buy supply and demand. If the price has increased and there's an active "volume" of shares traded, you should be able to sell with no problem.
When you're finished with this purchase, stop investing. You need to take 6 moths to a year to understand what it's all about... or you're going to lose your money! |

If a share is strong then by definition it should sell, but theres no gaurantee! |

You will always find a buyer.
The problem is that if the Company is sought after because they are doing well the price will rise and you would be silly to sell unless you really needed the money.
When a company is not doing so well the price falls, someone will buy but at a low price. This is the gamble you take when you invest in the stock market. |

No guarantee unless you are willing to hit the bid and sell
at any price. This is not a game for amateurs and you
should follow your broker‘s or Commission House‘s
advice. If you wish to play the market with lower risks,
go for the options, you can still win or loose but the risk
is lesser. Remember that your broker may make a margin
call if the market moves against you, unless you bought
shares outright and paid in full. |

Yes a broker like Barclays Bank would but you have to sell them before they drop in price and you have to pay about £15 to the broker so take that into consideration too. |
