Shares for Beginners: The Basics
What is a Share?
Imagine a large, successful company as a giant pizza. Buying a share is simply buying one slice. By holding a share, you own a tiny piece of that company's assets and earnings.
How You Earn Money
You earn in two ways:1. Capital Growth: Selling your slice later for more than you bought it.2. Dividends: Your cash reward when the company distributes its profits.
The Stock Market
The Stock Exchange (like the NGX in Nigeria) is the official market where pizza slices are bought and sold. Tickers like MTNN or GTCO are abbreviations used to identify these companies.
