Profits Unlimited One of the first advantages for someone who is contemplating the idea of investing in the stock market is unlimited profits. Anyone can gain from choosing to purchase the right stock at the right time. The amazing advantage of stock shares is that stocks sometimes split two for one. A stock split means for every share of stock you own you receive a free one when a stock splits. Coca-Cola, for example, has had nine splits in its history and there was one three-for-one divided in 1986. If a person purchased 100 shares at $40 when it first went public, he would have close to 75,000 shares of Coca-cola today considering all the splits it has had. His original investment of $4,000 would equal four million dollars today. That person would never have had to touch his investment. Big Losses The flipside of great profits in the stock market is great losses. A loss is the result of the way a stock changes as things like market news or world political events happen. News is con...

When we start earning, the last thing on our mind is planning finances and preparing for the future. We are excited to finally earn our own paycheck and find multiple places to splurge our money. As we grow older and the need to take on more responsibilities increase, we begin to broaden our horizons and plan ahead. But what we may or may not realize is that we will never get back the time we’ve lost. Therefore, we will never be able to earn as much as we would have, had we started investing when we started earning. In the investment world, Time is just as important as money. In fact, time creates money. In investment terminology, time refers to the power of compounding. It implies that our savings, when invested, have the power to grow exponentially. It may start slow, but with time the returns pick up and are eventually unstoppable. Let’s use an example to illustrate just how advantageous it is to harness this power. If you invest ₹10,000 in a monthly SIP at an interest rate of ...
