A stock is a security that represents an ownership interest in a company. Shareholders may receive returns from dividends if the company declares a payment and from changes in the share price, but neither is guaranteed. A share price can fall, and investors can lose money. Before investing, understand the company and its risks rather than buying because of a trend or someone else’s recommendation.

Basic information to review
- What the company does and where its revenue and profit come from
- Financial statements, cash flow, debt, and ability to continue operating
- Industry risks and events that could affect the business
- The purchase price compared with the information and assumptions used to value the company
- Liquidity, trading volume, and transaction costs
Past business performance does not establish future results. A single stock carries more concentration risk than a diversified portfolio of securities. New investors should learn how to place orders, trade, and read disclosures from the Stock Exchange before investing real money. Do not invest money needed for urgent expenses.
If you are not ready to choose individual stocks, read the basics of mutual funds and learn about asset allocation.
