In the basic definition, a share is a security issued by any organization or enterprise that gives the owner the right to receive a share of profit proportional to the par value of this share, as well as to own a similar share of ownership. But today, the stock is much more often used as a tool to profit from fluctuations in stock prices for these securities than to benefit directly from the work of the organization.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out the current purchase and sale prices of shares of any company or enterprise directly at this enterprise. If the organization has a website on the Internet, then the relevant information can be found there, or by contacting the contact form or by contacting the relevant department of this company. Sometimes a specially selected or created company is engaged in transactions with shares of an enterprise - in this case, as a rule, such a company is interested in the widest possible dissemination of information about the current price of shares.
Step 2
If the shares you are interested in are quoted on any Russian or foreign exchange, then information on current prices can be obtained either on the website of the exchange itself, or on specialized web resources. They provide a lot of overview, analytical and informational materials on the current trends in price changes in different market sectors, including monitoring stock prices on several exchanges at the same time. If the information that you can get directly from the organization that issued or sold you shares is updated no more than a couple of times a day, then on such web resources you can find out about changes in stock prices in a few minutes. In addition, you can subscribe to email or sms-mailing information about the prices of the stocks you are interested in.
Step 3
Install a specialized program (trading terminal) if you want to be aware of momentary fluctuations in prices for the shares you are interested in. Such a program receives information online directly from a broker company that sells and buys shares on the stock exchange, to some extent participating in price changes for your shares as well. To install such a program, you first need to select the broker that suits you the most, and then download one of the installation distribution options from its website.
