Introduction

T

he stock market – what image does that conjure in your mind? Do you think of screens of rapidly flashing numbers, traders in the pits waving wildly, as seen in many movies, or do you simply think of the stock market as a vehicle for financial growth?

Whatever your mental image, the chances are that it is or has been correct, for the stock market has many different faces. In this book I explain how you can take part in the stock market, and what to look for to try and make your involvement profitable.

People ask if you can really double your money in the stock market every seven years? Well, if you can choose which seven years in recent history you wan to look at, yes you can, and you can possibly do even better than that. The statistics say you should on average double your money, but the values change a lot from year to year, which means you cannot count on it for any particular period.

In this book, I touch on both investing and trading, but the emphasis is on long-term financial prospects, in other words investing. I have written and continue to write many books and articles about trading on the various markets available, and if you are interested in that aspect, I would be glad to recommend them to you.

Nevertheless, short-term trading is very different from investing for the longer-term, and while certain readers may have the time and the inclination for trading, it is a specialized subject and not suitable for everybody. On the other hand, investing is something that everyone should take part in, to grow his or her wealth.

I have set up a companion website to this book at www.newbiesguidetostocks.com. I hope you will visit it and look around, as I have reproduced all the diagrams there (for clarity) and have set up a forum for discussions and questions.

What is a Stock?

B

efore we can go into discussing stock markets and what use they can be to you and your money, you need to understand what a stock is, and how it all works. This guide is for newbies, so I am not assuming any previous knowledge on your part. If you already know about the stock market, simply skip the first three chapters or treat them as a refresher course.

Put simply, when you buy a stock you own a part of a company. This is because when the stock was originally created, usually with what is called the Initial Public Offering (IPO), the founders or owners of the company involved decided to sell part ownership in order to raise money for its operation.

You usually get some benefits or privileges from owning stocks, such as for instance sharing in the profits, but unless you are Warren Buffet or another major investor, you will probably not be recognized if you choose to visit the company.

That is because there are many shares issued, so you generally only own a very small part. For instance, Apple's shares are selling at several hundred dollars each, which may seem a reasonable amount to you, but you must consider that there are nearly 1,000,000,000 Apple shares on the market.

Incidentally, I used both the words stocks and shares above, and for our purposes, they are very similar. The difference is usually in the way the words used, with stocks commonly referring to shares in several different companies, and shares usually referring to holdings in one company only.

Although you only own a small part of the company, you may have a part to play in its running. There is always an Annual General Meeting or AGM that shareholders are invited to attend, and shareholders can influence a company's direction if they work together en masse on matters that are voted on there. In addition, shareholders often receive a regular income from the company.

Many years ago, shares were physical pieces of paper, and might be kept in a safety deposit box in a bank; nowadays, you will not receive any certificates, but simply have your shareholding recognized electronically. This change makes it easier when you want to buy and sell shares, which you can do online.

Some companies choose to remain privately owned for many years, which means they are owned by the founders, an investment group, or the people who work there and their friends, and shares are not offered to the general public. But if a company wants to raise a major amount of capital for research, expansion, or other purposes, then going public is a clearly defined path. It also allows the founders and original owners of the company to get back some of the money that they have invested.

There is a saying Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and this applies to share ownership. You should
