7. Discover the exciting world of stocks.

 

(Valeria.B.Solo)

 

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

Aristotle Aristotle might as well have been talking about investing in stocks. Most people perceive buying and selling shares as a very easy means of making money. However history has demonstrated that this is as far from the truth as the Earth is from the Sun. Unfortunately, by the time people figure this out their portfolio is not only down in the dumps, they have also made stock brokers a rich lot. In case you want stocks to really work for you, you should spend your valuable time exploring this section to maximise the returns on your valuable money For you, to understand the term Share in Capital Market What is a share? "Share" or "Equity" represents part of an ownership of a business. So as a shareholder you own a piece of the action that happens in that business. Why would you want a piece of the action? For the rewards of course. As a shareholder you have a right over the profits generated by your business. Your company might pay out the profits generated every year as dividends or it may retain the profits to further grow them. There's another way you as a shareholder can make money. If your company does well, then its shares listed on the stock market become more valuable and the stock price appreciates. On the other hand, the company might perform badly. Then not only do you not get dividends but the stock price also declines. Hence investing in shares is a risky proposition. When you invest in shares, you can expect certain returns based on the fundamentals of a business. However you have no control over it. What you have control over is managing risks associated with it.

 

Why invest in shares?

 

We know now that investing in shares is akin to owning part of a business. A profitable business keeps ploughing back profits to earn more profits or should we say "compounding profits". Hence unlike investing in assets like gold and real estate, which are not productive, or in bonds or debentures, which have fixed returns, investing in shares, which represent ownership in productive assets (business), hold very high upside potential. The "power of compounding" is what makes investing in stocks very attractive. In very simple terms it means that the returns on the principal earn returns too. In other words, Rs100 that earns mere returns of 15% per annum becomes Rs250 in ten years whereas Rs100 compounding at 15% per annum turns out to be Rs405 in ten years! As you stretch the time horizon, your money appreciates further. Compounding at 15% per annum Rs100 becomes Rs405 in ten years, Rs810 in 15 years and Rs1,640 in 20 years. Hence the longer the duration of investment, the better are the returns. For instance, if you had invested Rs1,000 in HLL in March 1990, it would have been worth Rs40,000 in March 2001, ie it would have increased 40 times in 11 years. Of course investing is risky. Higher returns always come with higher risks. However the risks of investing need not deter one. After all, the rewards outweigh the risks What determines stock prices? "In the short run, the market is a voting machine--reflecting a voter-registration test that requires only money, not intelligence or emotional stability--but in the long run, the market is a weighing machine."--Benjamin Graham Share prices track the profits of a business in the long run whereas in the short run they are determined by market sentiment and demand for the shares. Hence share prices are predictable with a higher degree of certainty in the long run whereas in the short run these are very whimsical. Which is why the strategy for a trader who hopes to benefit from short-term prices has to be different from that of an investor who expects to benefit from long-term prices.
