WHAT ARE SHARES
• Shares represent ownership in a company
• Holding a company’s shares means you are one of the
many owners (share holders)
• If a company does well (profitability), then the share price
could potentially rise and some companies may choose to
pay dividends
• Likewise if a company is not doing well (losses) then its
share price could potentially fall, and it might not be able to
declare a dividend (situations differ from company to
company)
