      Stock Market Investing for Beginners - Gary Jenks

      Introduction

      This book was created as a complete beginner's guide to investing in stock, and it provides adequate short chapters with in-depth knowledge where you can take your time and study to know more about investing in stocks.

      Just like new investors, you concluded on investing in a business and then pick up the first dividends of the stock, but since you have very little knowledge about it, you keep deliberating on your plan. Do not worry about that as this book will help you understand how to invest in stocks. To be more specific about this, it will help new investors. This was collated to help introduce a depository of other investment topics necessary to know the basics known as I guide you through your journey in stock market investing.

      Four Key Ways to Invest in Stocks

      Here are four key ways to invest in stocks:

      Invest through a stock broker account

      Invest through a traditional IRA account

      Invest through a 401k plan or 403b plan (for a non-profit account)

      Invest through a Dividend reinvestment or Direct stock acquisition plan

      Five Assets from Stock Investment

      There are five types of asset in which the average investor is likely to possess in his/her lifetime, whether or not that person did not invest in the asset directly or through a pooled structure such as index funds, exchange-traded funds, hedge fund, or mutual fund.

      Preferred stocks: This is a unique type of stock that often pays greater dividends but has its limited upside.

      Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs): This is an exceptional type of company's allotment that gives way to no taxation at the company's level provided that 90% of the earnings are to be paid to shareholders; these assets are usually invested in real estate properties and projects.

      Common stocks: Once you invest in stocks, you will possess an ownership share in a business operating stake along with a share of the disposable earnings and the dividends that are made by the firm. Though you do not have to invest in stocks to become wealthy, over the past few centuries, stocks have been the highest returning class asset and have produced more wealth.

      Bonds: When you lend money to either a municipality, business, country, or every other institution, you are buying bonds like municipal bonds, savings bonds, corporate bonds, U.S government Treasury bonds, etc.

      Money markets: They are highly fluid investments that are required to protect your purchasing power; they are considered a cash equivalent. There are two types: money market funds and money market accounts. There are also five other alternatives to money markets.

      Why You Need to Research When Investing in Stocks

      When you are researching an investment, there are five basic documents that you will need to get your hands on to ascertain the merit of the productive stock. The documents which you should have been easy to find. They are:

      Statistics showing 5-10 years back. Different companies provide this information in a straightforward format mostly for a small fee. Some research products or houses like the Valueline investment survey, Morningstar, Moody's, and the Standard & Poor's.

      The most recent form 10-Q: This is a quarterly variation of the form 10-K

      Proxy Statement: This includes information on the Board of directors as well as the shareholder's proposal and management compensation.

      Recent annual report: While you are going through the annual report, you will pay attention to the letter from the chairman, sometimes CFO, CEO, or other high-ranking officers to know how well they view the business. Note that not all annual reports are created equal, and the best in the business is known to be the one written by Warren Buffet at Berkshire Hathaway which is available to download free on the company's holding site.

      The form 10-K: This is the annual filing of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and this is probably the single-most important research document available to investors about the company.

      Three Financial Statements Necessary for Stock Investing

      It is vital that you look deeply into the financial statements before buying an ownership stake by investing in the company's stock:

      The balance sheet

      The cash flow statement

      The income statement

      All these three financial statements can reinforce and work together in which you cannot decide to study them in isolation or try to make decisions based on limited data; a mistake that can be much more costly particularly when you choose to invest in stock rather than a senior security that is higher in their capital structures such as a bond.
