How To
How to Trade on the Stock Market
Stock trading involves the purchase and sale of stocks, bonds, commodities or currencies as well as derivatives. Trading is French for traiteur, which means that someone buys and then sells. Traders sell and buy securities to make profit. It is one of the oldest forms of financial investment.
There are many different ways to invest on the stock market. There are three types of investing: active (passive), and hybrid (active). Passive investors only watch their investments grow. Actively traded investors seek out winning companies and make money from them. Hybrid investors combine both of these approaches.
Passive investing is done through index funds that track broad indices like the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average, etc. This is a popular way to diversify your portfolio without taking on any risk. You can just relax and let your investments do the work.
Active investing involves selecting companies and studying their performance. Active investors look at earnings growth, return-on-equity, debt ratios P/E ratios cash flow, book price, dividend payout, management team, history of share prices, etc. Then they decide whether to purchase shares in the company or not. They will purchase shares if they believe the company is undervalued and wait for the price to rise. On the other hand, if they think the company is overvalued, they will wait until the price drops before purchasing the stock.
Hybrid investments combine elements of both passive as active investing. A fund may track many stocks. However, you may also choose to invest in several companies. You would then put a portion of your portfolio in a passively managed fund, and another part in a group of actively managed funds.
