Shares

Investing in shares is becoming increasingly popular for individuals. Here we give you a quick introduction to the concept of shares, what exactly is a share and how do you get returns from shares when you are a beginner and want to see your invested money grow? That's what we'll try to answer here.

What is a share?

When you buy a share in a particular company, you will in principle own a small part of that company. The share itself is a security that shows that you, as an investor, have a stake in the company and are therefore entitled to profits and any dividends. 

Return on shares

The idea of owning a share is that the price of shares goes up and down and that a positive price performance can help you make money on your shares. However, the return or loss is not calculated until the day you sell the share, so it's important to sell at the right time. As mentioned, the share price goes up and down, and it can fluctuate a lot in periods. Trading in shares is therefore very much about having ice in your stomach and daring to believe that the market can turn even after a bad period, so that your share again has the potential for returns.
