Description

Shares are securities for receiving a part of the company's profits or a share of property in the event of a division.

Types by scope of rights:

• ordinary;
• privileged.

The usual type gives the opportunity to participate in the life and development of the company, the level of participation will depend on the percentage of ownership of securities. If you own 1% of the shares, then you will receive only information about other participants, if 2%, then there is the opportunity to propose candidates for the board of directors, but if you have 50% + 1 share, you own a controlling stake, choose the company's development strategy. Profitability for ordinary types is less than for preferred ones.

Preferred securities are divided into 2 types: cumulative and convertible. The first type of owners can accumulate returns and receive payments later if the company does not pay dividends. Convertible owners can exchange for simple or cumulative. The privileged type gives greater profitability, but does not allow you to influence the development of the company.

Dividend strategy

There are two ways to make money on this type of securities. The first is to receive dividends, the second is to earn on the price difference.

Dividend yield is calculated in 2 ways: the first is as the ratio of dividends to the current price, the second is as the ratio of dividends to the amount received.

The company decides when to pay income. Russian companies prefer to pay annual returns, European companies make quarterly payments.

Dividend stocks are an excellent long-term investment. If you want to make money on the difference in prices, you need to be constantly up to date and ready to sell.

It is recommended to keep in the investment portfolio not only stocks and bonds, but also other securities, precious metals and currencies.When the prices of one part of the portfolio fall, open the costs with a profit of the second part. If you plan to sell securities, carefully study how much the security is worth today, how much it cost yesterday, and in previous periods. The average price changes periodically, it depends on both external and internal market conditions.

The popularity of investment models is changing with the market situation, be prepared for quick, decisive action.
