Stocks and Shares
-
Investors you may wish to invest in shares on a quoted company on the Stock Exchange which you hope will yield a good return.
-
Assessing Share Values
-
The return can come from one or both of the following:
-
Dividend Income- if the company pays regular dividends
-
Capital Growth- if shares are sold at a higher price than you originally paid
-
It should be pointed out that shares are risky investments as in general there is no guaranteed value payable for the shares at any time. Shares are open ended investments whereby they do not have a fixed maturity date.
-
Stock Market Prices
-
A share quoted on the Stock Exchange will usually have two prices at any time:
-
The Bid price- the price at which investors are ‘’bidding’’ to buy the shares
-
The Ask price- the price at which holders of the shares are ‘’asking’’ in order to sell the shares
-
