Reasons For Investing In The Stock Market - Part 2
Previously the advantages or the reasons why you should invest in the stock market was discussed. In the first part of this two part series, we discussed about the first three reasons why you should invest in the stock market those are, potential for greater returns, part ownership of the company you are investing and belonging to a special group of people. We continue by discussing the next 4 reasons in part 2 of this 2 part series. Should you wish to view the entire article, check out my blog.
4.) One of the best if not the best vehicle of investment - In 1986 the Philippine stock market recorded its highest return rate at 224 %. The lowest return rate was recorded in 1997 at negative 41 %. The average return in 20 years time however ranges from 24 % to 28 % per year. It can therefore be clearly seen that while it is true that investing in the stock market has its up and down, in the long run long term investments in the stock market still yields a greater return. Hence it can be concluded that the long term investors always benefit and that the stock market is still one of the best vehicles of investment.
5.) Investing in the Stock Market forces you to become financially literate, more aware of your environment and inspires you to learn. - When you invest in the stock market you are forced to read the business news and place significant meaning on major news headlines. News to you does not only become something to be discussed in the coffee shop but something that has an impact since you know it will affect how the market will behave. You will be compelled to understand terms that you did not even dream of understanding. You will become twice smarter than you were as you will keep on learning and reading in order to expand your knowledge. If you slept through your economics class before, your eyes will be wide open when you try to figure out what inflation means. You will be inspired to learn.
6.) Investing in the stock market will help you know what it means to harness the power of the internet - The progress of man is divided into several ages. We had the "stone age" the iron ages, bronze ages etc. then we moved up to the industrial age and now they say that we are in the "information technology age." In the information technology age, knowledge is power. For many of us that term is considered just an adage. But with online trading you will know what that means. Since I was in college I really wanted to know what it is like to invest in the stock market. I was just amazed when I see traders in movies, shouting buy or sell. But I did not invest back then mainly because of three reasons, lack of information, lack of capability and most of all lack of money.
In today's internet driven economy, information can be accessed easily through the world wide web.Trading is made much more easier with online trading facilities. As this opportunities are presented to me, I made it a point to start investing in the stock market. Now I do all of my trading activities online such as monitoring the news, buying and selling of stocks and transferring money to my accounts. Perhaps I will someday move into global stock market trading. Despite its complications, the principles in stock market trading is still somewhat the same.
7.) Help in nation building - The most noble objective and advantage as to why you should invest in the stock market is probably this one. Companies want to get listed in the stock exchange to raise more capital for their business in order that they could expand. Business expansion is translated as more jobs, more taxes for the government and more economic activity. This in effect moves the nation forward and helps build the nation.
Certainly these compelling reasons make a valid argument as to why you should invest in the stock market. - 23167
