learn how to invest in the stock market from scratch

There are more and more people who are interested in the world of financial markets. However, it is not always easy to find information that helps you understand the stock market. This article will teach you everything you need to know to invest in the stock market if you are a beginner. 

If you want to start investing in stocks, you should know three things. First, the stock market is a risk market, and you can make money or lose money. Second, there is no miracle method for investing in the stock market. And third, it is vital to know the hours of the markets. 

Be careful with any guaranteed pieces of advice on the stock market. They do not exist. Trading signal providers, automatic trading, reference traders are all scam. 

The first step you’ll need to make before investing in a stock market is learning what the  market is. The second step is to know the market participants. In addition to individuals, the most important participants in the stock market are mutual funds, investment banks, guarantee funds, insurance companies, and state and pension funds. There are two types of participants in the stock market: buyers and sellers. 

How the stock market works – where does the money come from?

The market is a game like where you win at the expense of another person/entity losing money. 

If we buy a company share at $6 today and the price rises to $10 tomorrow, we can earn $4. The seller, who sold the shares for $6, will not benefit from the price increase and has a potential loss of $4.

Let’s take the opposite example: if you buy a company share for $10 today and tomorrow’s price is $4, the buyer will lose $6, and the seller will earn $6.

What stocks to buy

Once you have signed up and your trading account is approved, the stock selection process begins. The amount of data and the real-time movements of stocks can overwhelm you at first. We advise you to focus on a small number of actions initially.
