Stock Market Made Easy for Pinoy Seafarers

How Does the Stock Market Work?

I am sure you have heard of the word already, however the inner workings of the stock market remain mysterious and elusive to a lot of Filipinos. We don’t have a lot ideas when it comes to the stock market, and we seem to believe that only the people in big business circles know how the stock market works. To simplify, the Stock market is a game of chance, only the big difference is that you are given informed choices. The stock market is the biggest marketplace in the world. It is where people buy and sell stuff, but instead of selling food or clothes as well as bag, people trade money and stocks that represent different companies.

What is a Stock?

A stock is a form of security that that pertains to the ownership in a corporation. It is a claim on part of a certain corporation’s assets as well as its earnings. It could also mean the capital raised by a business or a corporation through the issue and subscription of shares. To simplify, this is a piece of a company.

What is Stock Trading and How Does One Invest?

Stock market investing is owning a piece of the company, not everyone can become Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg and own a trillion-dollar company but each of us has a chance to become a part of the system and that is by purchasing the stocks of the companies we believe will make money in the future.

In stock trading you begin to earn money when the value of the company stock you purchased goes up. If the price per stock went up compared from the original price purchase, you gain a profit – this is when Price Appreciation occurs. Another way for you to earn is if the company you have a stock on decides to share its earning to the shareholders in the form of dividends. You can receive your income in the form of stocks or cash.

Not everyone can afford to purchase Amazon or Google should they want to, but everyone who enters the stock market can have a piece of the pie. Once you purchase the stocks of Amazon for example, you can receive a virtual certificate to certify that you are indeed the owner of a particular stock. For example, if the company has 10 million shares you can have the 1 million shares, it means you own 10% of the Amazon company.

Why are these Big Companies Selling Shares?

Even the most successful companies in the world will require additional funding for projects that they have in mind. Selling shares is a way for them to bring in additional capital to business expansions. They can use it for research and development, products, to improve their factories or to pay some of their debts to keep the business running.

How will you benefit if you purchase shares of these companies in the stock market?

The shares you purchased could one day go up in market value, there are some companies that start small and become giants. So in purchasing shares make sure to speculate well, and learn the whereabouts of the company shares you are about to purchase. It is all about supply and demand, while there is no way to predict how companies will perform in the long run, you can still take your chances instead of wasting your money in other pursuits that will not help you earn anything in the long run.
