What is Stock Investing

Well what do you understand by the word “stock” in share market? The term stock is nothing just a company where you invest your money to get some ownership on that company or we can say you gets some shares of that company/stock.

Let me clear this by an example: let suppose there is a TATA company named “TATA motors” I hope you all know about TATA’s company its a well reputed top brand company for all time. So in TATA motors “Ratan N Tata” is the chairman of the company. The stock value of Tata motors right now is around Rs 462. suppose you want to purchase 100 shares of TATA motors so the value of 100 share is Rs 462 X 100 = Rs 46,200, after buying it you get some ownership/shares of TATA motors which is owned by you, well don’t think after buying some shares of TATA motors you’ll become the chairman of TATA motors 😄 well no, you just only owned a little percentage of ownership/shares of TATA Motors.

Now, after getting some shares of TATA Motors and then you decide to hold it for the long term around 5 years. So let suppose after 5 year the value of TATA motors jumps to the Rs 1352 that means after five year your 100 shares value is worth Rs 1352 x 100 = Rs 1,35,200 and you get the profit of Rs 1,35,200 – Rs 46,200 = Rs 89,000. So this called “Stock Investing”

(Note: The example is given by me is in profit. Its depend on the financials of that companies how they are perform if their financials is good then it make sense to invest otherwise you’ll loose your all money by investing in wrong stocks, so please analyze first then invest)
