Any adult citizen of the Russian Federation has the opportunity to easily and quickly acquire a stake in a large company such as Apple, Microsoft or Gazprom. There is an official tool that allows you to legally acquire stakes in the largest companies in Russia and the United States, including transferring them by inheritance. It has long been popular in the United States, but for some reason it is not widespread in Russia.
If you know how to save money, but do not know what to do with it, then you can use the most obvious way: buy shares in some enterprises with it and receive your share of the income. These shares are now called common shares. This method allows you to easily and quickly buy shares of such corporations as Gazprom, Lukoil, Apple, Microsoft and many others. At the same time, you can start buying them for many companies from just a few hundred rubles (for example, the price of a Gazprom share at the time of this writing costs a little more than 160 rubles, and you have the opportunity to buy one share with about 170 rubles), but for some you have to pay and several hundred dollars (for example, an Apple share is worth a little more than $ 200, and an Amazon share is about $ 2000), however, the company's share per one share in the latter will be significantly higher. In order to start buying stocks, you just need to follow 3 simple steps:
- Open a brokerage account;
- Make money on it;
- Buy shares of companies of interest.
It should be remembered that it is better to "not put all your eggs in one basket" so that your capital does not depend on one company, even if it seems very reliable. It is better to make a portfolio of the largest companies in each sector of the economy, spending approximately the same amount of rubles for each sector. Portfolio example:
- $ 50 - shares of Gazprom (gas and oil industry);
- $ 50 - shares of NOVATEK (gas industry);
- $ 100 - shares of Raspadskaya (coal industry);
- $ 33 - shares of LUKOIL (oil industry);
- $ 33 - shares of Rosneft (oil industry);
- $ 33 - shares of Tatneft (oil industry);
- $ 110 - Microsoft Share (Technology Industry);
- $ 30 - shares of Sberbank (financial sector);
- $ 30 - shares of VTB Bank (financial sector);
- $ 30 - shares of Sberbank (financial sector);
- $ 30 - Bank of America share (financial sector).
Thus, with just over $ 500 (about 30 thousand rubles), you will receive shares in the largest gas, oil, technology and financial companies in the world. Each of these companies makes money in their own way, does not depend on other companies in the portfolio, and pays dividends. If we assume that the dividend yield of the portfolio will be at the level of 3-5%, then by buying shares and doing nothing else, you will receive $ 15-25 or 1000-1500 rubles within a year. It seems that this is very little, but there is one caveat: companies pay only part of the profit, and the rest is reinvested back into their business, and therefore in a year the portfolio value may be $ 550-600, and if the dividend yield continues, then next year you will receive not $ 15-25, but $ 16, 5-30 or 1100-2000 rubles, and the value of the shares exceeds $ 700. It should be remembered, however, that after buying the stock, you did nothing else! Those. once having invested some amount in these companies, you can continue to pursue your business, which brings you money, and at the same time, regardless of the situation in your company, city and even country, the companies whose shares you purchased will be develop your business, do everything possible for maximum profit.
Of course, it should be remembered that although this is a large business, because of this, no one guarantees that it will continue to earn money in the future, and the shares will grow. But this is the specifics of the business: in order to earn more bank deposits, you need to take risks. However, do not worry about this too much, because the probability of bankruptcy of a company that is worth billions of dollars is very close to zero, and if bankruptcy happens for one of those in your portfolio, then the loss (in our example) will be 6- twenty%. But no one forces you to take only 3-4 companies from 5 sectors. You can build a portfolio of 15-20 companies by investing a small share of capital in each sector of the economy, and then the loss from bankruptcy or poor performance of one of them will be offset by income and growth in the value of shares of the rest.
And finally, I note that it is not at all necessary to have 30 thousand.rubles to start investing in stocks. Enough, putting aside a few hundred rubles to buy shares of some companies every time a certain amount accumulates (for example, 160 rubles for a Gazprom share, 200 rubles for a Sberbank share, 5000 rubles for LUKOIL, etc.).
