Stock markets are made to have their ups and downs. After all, the United States bounced back in the 1920s after a decade of Depression due to what is recorded as the first stock market crash in the world, and for a brief moment in the 1980s, it was thought that the stock market in the States and in a number of countries wasn’t going to recover from another nosedive. Playing the numbers is a risk, even in a gentleman’s game like the stock market, and whether it’s Hong Kong or NASDAQ, analysts have a difficult time of predicting exactly what’s going to happen. One thing’s for sure, though: no one quite knew what was coming in 2008.

You’ve had that degree for a few years now, and you have been working non-stop since then. Chances are, you were able to build up your savings properly through the years. You haven’t bothered about that student loan ever since you paid it off for the first two years of your employment. A glance at your savings account then tells you that now are the time for an investment. I imagine you have no plans of being an employee forever.

A corporation is basically a group of people with shares or stocks from a company that make them part-owners of that company. A company may either be a privately held corporation or a publicly held corporation. A privately held corporation is one where the shareholders know each other. They are usually related to each other, some corporations have the whole family as the shareholders. An example of a privately listed company is Cargill Corporation. A publicly listed company is one where shares are sold to anyone who can afford it and who pass up on some tests/ requirements the company has in addition. Shareholders of publicly listed companies do not virtually know each other.
