It is quite easy to get started with stock speculation. You contact an investment company, open an account with them and deposit money into it. Then you can act in two ways: you give orders for transactions with the selected shares to the broker, after having previously tracked the movement of quotations, or you make a decision to buy and sell yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
You can buy shares of a promising company, wait until the end of the year and receive the accumulated dividends. The decision on the amount of dividends is taken by the company's management, then it is approved by the Board of Directors. Please note that in case of unforeseen circumstances, the company has the right to decide not to pay dividends. You, being a minority shareholder, that is, the owner of a small block of shares, cannot influence the current situation in any way. This is the first way to make money on the exchange market.
Step 2
The second way is that you will use the change in the price of your shares on the stock exchange. As an investor, you buy stocks with a long-term perspective. Open positions last from several months to several years. If your economic forecasts come true, then the stock will go up. You, as the owner, sell them and receive your income equal to the difference between the purchase price of the package of securities and its sale. Keep in mind that stocks may fall in price over time. In this course of events, you will independently decide whether to sell them ahead of schedule or keep them waiting for growth.
Step 3
If you plan to engage in close exchange speculation, then learn to "catch" the difference in the movement of quotations in a short period. You will have to buy and sell stocks within one business day. Your income will be the difference in the price of buying and selling shares. The system is the same as when investing, only the process itself is much faster. The number of deals made with shares during a trading session is unlimited. You can buy and sell securities as many times as you like.
Step 4
The activity of the modern exchange market is carried out with the help of computer trading programs. You will use them if you install the program on your computer. Thus, stocks are traded right in the home or office. First, familiarize yourself with the interface of the trading program. To do this, you can view any course on a similar topic on the Internet. By clicking the corresponding buttons, you will be able to place orders to buy or sell shares at a certain price and monitor their implementation. Be sure to study the risks in order to adequately assess them.
