FAQ
Why are marketable securities important?
An investment company exists to generate income for investors. This is done by investing in different types of financial instruments, such as bonds and stocks. These securities have certain characteristics which make them attractive to investors. These securities may be considered safe as they are backed fully by the faith and credit of their issuer. They pay dividends, interest or both and offer growth potential and/or tax advantages.
A security's "marketability" is its most important attribute. This is the ease at which the security can traded on the stock trade. You cannot buy and sell securities that aren't marketable freely. Instead, you must have them purchased through a broker who charges a commission.
Marketable securities include government and corporate bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, convertible debentures, unit trusts, real estate investment trusts, money market funds, and exchange-traded funds.
These securities are preferred by investment companies as they offer higher returns than more risky securities such as equities (shares).
How are Share Prices Set?
The share price is set by investors who are looking for a return on investment. They want to make profits from the company. So they buy shares at a certain price. If the share price increases, the investor makes more money. If the share price goes down, the investor will lose money.

How To
How to Trade on the Stock Market
Stock trading is the process of buying or selling stocks, bonds and commodities, as well derivatives. Trading is French for "trading", which means someone who buys or sells. Traders purchase and sell securities in order make money from the difference between what is paid and what they get. It is one of the oldest forms of financial investment.
There are many ways you can invest in the stock exchange. There are three basic types: active, passive and hybrid. Passive investors do nothing except watch their investments grow while actively traded investors try to pick winning companies and profit from them. Hybrids combine the best of both approaches.
Passive investing can be done by index funds that track large indices like S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. This type of investing is very popular as it allows you the opportunity to reap the benefits and not have to worry about the risks. You just sit back and let your investments work for you.
Active investing involves selecting companies and studying their performance. Active investors will analyze things like earnings growth rates, return on equity and debt ratios. They also consider cash flow, book, dividend payouts, management teams, share price history, as well as the potential for future growth. Then they decide whether to purchase shares in the company or not. If they feel that the company is undervalued, they will buy shares and hope that the price goes up. On the other side, if the company is valued too high, they will wait until it drops before buying shares.
Hybrid investing combines some aspects of both passive and active investing. One example is that you may want to select a fund which tracks many stocks, but you also want the option to choose from several companies. This would mean that you would split your portfolio between a passively managed and active fund.
