You are listening to All About Business, the podcast with your host(s) Prithvi and today’s guest. We will be hearing from them in our 2nd and 3rd segment so stay tuned for that.
In this episode of All About Business the Podcast we give a brief overview of stocks, debate which types of stocks are better, and let you know what stock to invest in.
Segment 1: What are stocks?In this segment I will give a brief overview on what stocks are, how they work, and where you can start investing.
- A stock is a type of investment that represents an ownership share in a company. Investors usually buy stocks in hopes that the price will increase so they can sell and receive a profit. Companies benefit from this because they receive the money from investors that purchase stocks and they can invest this money into their company/business.
- Buying and selling stock seems easy at first, until you realize the risks involved.
- Fluctuating Prices: Many stocks fluctuate a lot. This means that the price of the stock increases and decreases quickly. This means if you invest a lot in a fluctuating stock there is a high chance you could lose a large portion or even most of your investment. This can be a huge problem for companies if they invest primarily in a few fluctuating stocks. If these stocks lose value these companies could go bankrupt. This is why most companies and people diversify.
- Diversifying: In this case it means that people or companies will invest in multiple different stocks instead of a few stocks. This way in case a couple stocks lose value you have other investments that you can rely on.
- There are many ways to invest in stock, here a couple websites (I will include the links in the show notes):
