How can I buy/sell shares?

How Shares Work? Many Questions (In ENGLISH)?

  • Hello, This is my understanding of shares (in relation to a company being public) A company is big or has potential so it goes public. Why? Where is the benefit for the company? If shares are $1 for Ice cream inc and I buy one share that $1 I spent goes to Ice cream inc (unless I buy from someone else) They get more popular and split shares so instead of 1 shares for $1 I have 10 shares at .10. People buy shares and the cost per share goes up. Why? A company has loads of money so they issue a dividend. Paying money to the shareholders. Why would they do this? Aren't they really just throwing there money away? When I sell my shares can I sell it back to the company so they earn more? I can sell onto others. I really don't see benefits of shares. I'm just a curious young mind :) Thanks. I'm probably forgetting a lot of what I wanted to know so I may add extras later on. Shares seem like a good way of making money (earning an average of 110%-112%) but I wonder why companies do it.

In personal finance and investing, the term share is used to describe a small equity share of a company that has made a stock offering to the public. A share of stock is essentially a tiny piece of ownership in the company that issued it. The total value of a public company should be closely reflected by the total value of all of its stock. Because a shareholder is a part owner in a company, she's often entitled to income when the company does well and is paid a dividend from her share holdings. The value of stock shares increase and decrease over time, depending on the performance of the company and demand for the company's stock from other investors.

If shares sounds complicated why not simplify it? You and I have a company. We own half each, or you have 50 shares and I have 50 shares. We make a profit of £10000 (earnings). We keep £5000 (retained) in the company to buy new machinery etc. and split the other £5000 between us (dividend). The new machinery enables us to make more product which we sell to more customers and make even more profit. Surely the value of our shares has increased? I mean if we make £20000 profit this year we can use £10000 for further expansion and still pay ourselves £5k each in dividends. But then you get fed up and think this can't last, so we agree that you will sell your share to a friend. You think your share is worth £25k and so does your friend so he buys your shares (no money goes to the company). Your friend becomes the owner of half the company and looks forward to receiving his future dividends. You don't seem to realise companies are run by people and owned by people (sometimes they are the same people). A company cannot decide to pay a dividend (the people who run it decide)
