If you decide to choose the best way to invest money for yourself, evaluate the amount of free money that you can invest, decide on the investment period and check your willingness to take risks. If you are willing to take a reasonable risk in anticipation of making substantial profits, then buying stocks may be the right investment for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Compared to more traditional ways of investing money, for example, opening a deposit in a bank, transactions with securities seem to be a more risky type of investment. Increased risk is always the flip side of profitability: the higher the risk, the more profit you can expect in the end. Buying stocks in the long run can generate more substantial returns than interest on savings.
Step 2
Having made the decision to invest your funds in shares, decide on the specific enterprises, part of which you intend to own in the form of securities. Most likely, you will need to conduct an analysis of the securities market in order to get an idea of which companies are demonstrating progressive growth in the value of their assets. After all, you buy shares in the final analysis in order to profit from the growth of their market value.
Step 3
To purchase shares, it is more convenient to use the services of intermediary (brokerage) companies that are licensed to conduct operations with securities on behalf of individuals. Choosing an intermediary will require familiarization with the terms of provision of brokerage services and collecting information about the broker's reputation.
Step 4
When you have decided on the choice of a brokerage company, open an investment account with it, transfer funds to this account and give the broker an order to buy a certain number of shares you are interested in.
Step 5
You can send the order to buy and / or sell shares to the broker in different ways: by phone (voice request), by fax or by e-mail. The most modern and fastest way to carry out transactions with securities is online trading, which allows you to submit orders using a remote client terminal installed on your personal computer.
Step 6
To connect to online trading, you need to download and install stock trading software. To buy or sell shares, you will need to enter an order, after which the broker will make a deal in your interests.
Step 7
If you have no experience in the stock market, you need to take training at one of the special seminars that will help you determine the right moment to buy stocks and understand the ways of risk management.
