Learn about share's


In finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's.

In simple Words, a share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a company (i.e. Primary market)or can be purchased from the stock market(i.e. Secondarymarket).

How to buy or sell the shares ?
There are licensed members called brokers to process every transaction in the stock exchange .
To trade in shares, you have to approach a broker or sub-broker to open an account called Demat Account. Most stock exchange brokers deal in very high volumes, but for small investors these brokers have a network of sub-brokers who provide them with orders.

The general investors should identify a sub-broker for regular trading in shares and palce his order for purchase and sale through the sub-broker. The sub/broker will transmit the order to his broker who will then execute it .

By owning a share you can earn a portion and selling shares you get capital gain. So, your return is the dividend plus the capital gain. Sometime's you also run a risk of making a capital loss if you have sold the share at a price below your buying price.
Owning a stock or a share means you are a partial owner of the company, and you get voting rights in certain company issues Investments in stocks can generate returns through dividends, even if the price is low or high.
