Understanding Shares and Investment Opportunities
Shares symbolize ownership in companies, allowing investors to become part owners. Companies often raise capital for expansion or the development of new products by issuing shares or obtaining loans.
Investing in companies with strong fundamentals—such as business growth, profitability, good management, and strategic vision—can lead to potential gains, including dividends, capital appreciation, and bonus shares. Shareholders also have the opportunity to participate in major decision-making during general meetings.
