The beauty of the share market

Once you understand that buying shares is the same as becoming a part owner of a company, it’s somewhat easier to understand how prices can move up and down each day.

This is a reflection of what all the participants in the market feel a particular company is worth at any one moment, based on the knowledge they have at that time. There are different approaches you can take to investing in shares.

Some people prefer to actively trade their share investments on a regular basis, sometimes multiple times per day. Others will take a longer-term position and buy into an investment in the belief that returns will gradually go up over time.
