You can own pieces of companies through stocks, giving your portfolio the chance to gain value over time. When you buy a stock, you own a piece of the company that issues it. There are several ways of classifying companies and their stocks. If you buy a company’s stock, you become a part owner and you’ll generally make money if the company does well—or lose money if it doesn’t. Depending on how established the company is, most of the money you make will come either through increases in share price or through dividend payments. Larger companies tend to be more stable than smaller companies, but they also have less room for growth.
When people talk about investing in stocks, they’re usually referring to common stock.
These kinds of stocks give you the opportunity to join in the success of public companies, and as such, they’re an investment that can really grow your portfolio.
Because you’re a part owner of the company that issues your stock, it’s pretty simple: For the most part, when the company makes money, you make money. (Conversely, of course, when the company loses money … well, you get the picture.)
There are a couple of ways you’ll see this part-ownership reflected.
First, the price of each share of stock can increase in value. If you buy 50 shares at $10 a share and then the share price increases to $15, you’re now $250 richer.
The company can also choose to issue a dividend to shareholders. Say the issuer of your 50 shares of stock announces a $2 dividend. That means you’ll be paid $100 (which you can use to buy more shares, if you wish)
