Stock As One Of Investments

Basically all investment options contain the profit opportunities on the one hand and the potential losses or risks on the other. As the savings and deposits in banks have a small risk because it is stored safely in the bank, but its weakness is that profits are smaller than the potential gains of the main stock. Investing in property (house and land) the longer the price is higher, but are also at risk if displaced or occur, a fire against the house, while the business itself (self-employed) loss at risk while investing in gold has a risk of price drops.

Benefit:
Capital Gain is a profits from the sell or buy stock in the form of surplus value from the value of the sale and purchase of stock. For example, when you purchase worth $ 1,000 per stock and then sell for $ 1,500. So the difference of $ 500 is called Capital Gain. stock are securities of the most popular among securities in the capital market. Why? Because when compared with other investments, stock allow investors to earn a return or a greater profit in a relatively short time (high return).

In addition to the return, the stock also has properties which is a high risk when the stock price may also degenerate quickly or delist its stock on the (abolished recording) of the exchange so for buying and selling should seek the buyer or the seller himself and has no stock market reference price. With the characteristics of high risk high return is then investors need to continue to monitor price movements of stock held, so that the right decisions can be generated in the right time.

Dividend is the company's profit distributed to stockholders. Usually not all corporate profits distributed to stockholders, but there are parts that are replanted. The amount of the dividend you receive is determined by the General Meeting of stockholders of the company. But what should be noted is that the dividend policy the company does not always pay dividends to stockholders but depending on the condition of the company itself (particularly with regard to benefits achieved). This means that if the company suffered losses of course, a dividend will not be distributed in the current year.

Risk:
Capital Loss is the opposite of capital gain, which is a condition where you sell stock you have below the purchase price. For example stock of a corporate X you buy at a price of $ 1,800 per stock, then the stock price continued to decline until it reaches $ 1.300 per stock. For fear that stock prices will continue to fall, then you then selling price of bicycles so that you suffered a loss of $ 500 per stock. That capital loss that can happen to you.

Liquidity Risk, Company-owned, was declared insolvent by the court or the company is dissolved. In this case the claim rights of stockholders can last priority after all the company's liabilities can be paid off (from the sale of the company's assets). If there are leftover from the sale of the company's assets, then the rest is distributed proportionally to all stockholders.
However, if there are remaining assets of the company, the stockholders will not receive anything. It is the heaviest risks of a stockholders. For that a stockholders is required to continuously follow the development of the company whose shares are owned.
