Why should you invest in Stock Market?
What is Stock Market?
The stock market broadly refers to a number of exchanges and other venues in which shares of publicly held companies are bought and sold. Such financial activities are conducted through institutionalized formal exchanges (physical or electronic) and via over-the-counter (OTC) marketplaces that operate under a defined set of regulations. While both the terms “stock market” and “stock exchange” are often used interchangeably, the latter term is really a subset of the former. Traders in the stock market buy or sell shares on one or more of the stock exchanges that are part of the overall stock market.
While there are some valid reasons not to buy stocks, the upside potential outweighs the risk for most people. So it's almost always a good idea to invest in stocks even when the market is at an all-time high. Studies have shown that what's more important than timing the market is an investor's time in the market. Holding out for the right time to buy stocks can be costly because a large portion of gains comes from a small number of days. Meanwhile, stocks tend to recover from stock market corrections, or earning declines of more than 10%, in a matter of months. The longer an investor is in the market, the lower the probability of losing money.
Why should you invest in Stock Market?
Equally important is picking the right stocks to buy. As David Gardner, co-founder of The Motley Fool, puts it, "It doesn't matter when you invest if you are investing in great companies." A minority of stocks accounts for a majority of the market's overall return. That's why it's better to buy stock in a great company as soon as you can rather than waiting for a better price that might never come.
