In the world of finance, stocks are one of the most common tools for investing and generating additional income. As a security, a share grants the owner the right to a share of the profits of a particular company. This portion of the profit is called dividends. By purchasing shares, you become a co-owner of a joint stock company. If you wish, you can also sell the stock at the price the market offers.

Step 1
There are two types of shares: common and preferred. Ordinary ones give the right to vote in the distribution of profits, but do not allow receiving benefits in the payment of dividends. Preferred voting rights do not give, but when distributing dividends, the owner of such shares receives a preemptive right.
Step 2
You should be aware that the market value of shares, as a rule, does not coincide with its par. The stock market price is determined by the ratio of the aggregate supply and demand of market participants. In order to confidently and profitably make transactions of purchase and sale of shares, you need to navigate the stock market, study the principles of its behavior, methods of risk assessment, the impact of certain events on the value of the stock market value.
Step 3
If you do not feel confident in the securities market, you can entrust the purchase and sale of shares, as well as the management of your investment portfolio, to professionals. Many investment and brokerage companies offer so-called trust management. The purpose of this service is to efficiently and professionally handle clients' assets through investments in the stock market.
Step 4
If you decide to manage the buying and selling of shares yourself, you can do it remotely using Internet technologies. Such trading is gaining more and more popularity lately. But for an individual, access to operations in the securities market is open only through intermediary (brokerage) structures.
Step 5
Most reputable brokerage companies provide their clients with access to the two main Russian stock exchanges - MICEX and RTS. There you can buy and sell shares of the largest Russian companies, the so-called "blue chips".
Step 6
Modern technologies make it possible to carry out the procedure for buying and selling shares with just a few clicks of a computer "mouse", without leaving home. Of course, transactions must be conducted using licensed software, which is usually provided by the broker when entering into a service agreement.
