100628
All information about public companies is, by definition, public.  If you want to invest in stocks, but know nothing about anything related to them, you will be walking into dangerous territory.  The first thing you have to do is READ, READ and READ some more.  Go to Yahoo money, MSN money or any other free board and start reading on public companies.  Find out what market cap means, find out what drives the prices of big companies' stocks.  Run stock screeners looking for good companies (look for low Betas, for example)  look at their price history (Is the company at the highest/lowest price it has been in a year?)  Then, when you narrow down your choices, made your decision and are ready to buy, pick a good brokerage house (cheap ones: Scottrade, Ameritrade, Sharebuilder)  and buy your stock.\n\nAn alternative is choosing mutual funds, Find one rated high my morningstar and leave all that research in the hands of people who know.

U still invest but in a passive manner.\n\n\nIf u feel that i am wrong, try loking up in the "How stuff Works" website

For buying and selling shares you should have a demat account in a bank and a broker who will deal on your behalf.Before you invest you should study the market closely and invest in reputed and safe companies.There are many bogus companies which try and cheat and one should be wary of such companies.

Depending on which country you're from you have many alternatives on how you can trade shares.\n\nYou can use plain shares, warrants, options, futures and CFDs.\n\nEach financial instrument has its own advantages and disadvantages.\n\nTo use plain shares you need heaps of capital.\n\nThe others are derivatives - or products that derive their value off the shares. These don't normally require as much money to gain a profit. But on the other hand potential losses are greater.\n\nYou should start by reading - reading a lot.\n\nThen by paper trading.

Its a market where people try to buy share - Share is nothing but a holding in a company. The value of a share is decided on the baaisi of various factors particularly current and past performance of the company.\n\nI guess you just have started looking at share market..So I would recommend you to read some share market related books before you start investing. Remember the market is very lucrative but at the same time is very dangereous.

Stock Market (or stock exchange) is a place where stock (or shares as we call in india) are traded between investors at a particular price that is purely determined by the demand and supply of the shares.\n\nFor example, if the demand of the share is greater than the supply, the price of the share will keep rising until the demand is equal to supply. As a result the price of the share goes up. Alternatively, if the supply of the share is more than the demand, the price of the share falls till it equals demand. \n\nNormally one would want to buy the shares of company that are performing good. This would result in a rise in demand of the shares and the price will start rising. The price will rise until the ivestors feel that the share price correctly co relates with the good performace of the company. Similarly one would try and sell shares of a company that is performing poorly and so the supply will rise. The price will continue to fall till investors feel that the price correctly corelates with the performance.\n\nIt is worth noting that any news that has an effect on the performance of the company will be reflected in the price movement of the share. For example, if the government announces that there is an upward revision in the price of petrol, the most likely gainers will be companies like Indian Oil, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, Reliance etc. Therefore, their stocks (share prices) will start rising. Alternatively if the government announces that there is no revision in the price of petrol even though the price of crude is rising in the international market, the share prices of these companies will be under pressure and will probably fall. \n\nNow a days shares are held in dematerialized or demat (i.e. in electronic form without any paperwork involved) form with a share broker who is registered with the stock exchange. In India, there are two stock exchanges viz - \n\n1) The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)\n2) The National Stock Exchange (NSE)\n\nBoth the exchanges are headquarted in Mumbai. A broker can be a member of either of the two or both.\n\nSensex (Sensitive Index) is an index of the most commonly traded 30 stocks on the BSE. Time to time, the BSE allocates weightage to different stocks that reflect their importance in the stock markets. Take an example of two stocks RELAINCE and TATA POWER where both are included in the Sensex. If the stock price of Reliance goes up by Rs 10 and the stock price of TATA POWER falls by Rs 10, does it mean that they will balance each other? The answer is no. This is becuase the weight of the Reliance Stock is much more than Tata Power. In such a case the rise in the Reliance Stock will out weigh the loss in Tata Power's stock and the Sensex will rise (assuming other stocks remain where they are). It is to be noted that the sensex will either move upwards or downwards only the performace of these 30 stocks. Since the general mood of the market is reflected by the movement in the Sensex, it reamins in the news all the time.\n\nPlease note that this explanation is a very simple explanation on the movement in the Indian Stock Market. There may be many other factors that determine the demand and supply of shares.\n\nHope one finds this information useful.
