HOW TO INVEST IN STOCK MARKET
What Are Stocks?
• Stocks are equity investments
that represent legal ownership
in a company. You become a
part-owner of the company
when you purchase shares.
Investing in Stocks
• You can profit from owning
stocks when the share price
increases, or from quarterly
dividend payments.
Investments accumulate over
time and can yield a solid
return due to compound
interest, which allows your
interest to begin earning
interest.
A step-by-step
guide on how
to Invest in
Stocks Market
1. Decide your Investing Approach
2. Decide how much you will Invest in
Stocks
The stock market is no place for
money that you might need within the
next five years, at a minimum. While
the stock market will almost certainly
rise over the long run, there's simply
too much uncertainty in stock prices
in the short term -- in fact, a drop of
20% in any given year isn’t unusual.
 3. Open an Investment Account
First, determine the type of brokerage account you need.
For most people who are just trying to learn stock market
investing, this means choosing between a standard brokerage
account and an individual retirement account (IRA).
If you want easy access to your money, are just investing for a
rainy day, or want to invest more than the annual IRA limit, you'll
probably want a standard brokerage account.
On the other hand, if your goal is to build up a retirement nest
egg, an IRA is a great way to go.
 4. Diversify your Stocks
It's a good idea to learn the concept of
diversification, meaning that you should have a
variety of different types of companies in your
portfolio.
If you want to invest in individual stocks, you should
familiarize yourself with some of the basic ways to
evaluate them.
 5. Continue Investing
Here's one of the biggest secrets of investing, courtesy of the
Oracle of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett. You do not need to do
extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.
The most surefire way to make money in the stock market is to
buy shares of great businesses at reasonable prices and hold
on to the shares for as long as the businesses remain great (or
until you need the money). If you do this, you'll experience
some volatility along the way, but over time you'll produce
excellent investment returns.
