Is it better for investors when the stock gains or declines?
I'm doing homework that has to do with stocks. I do not know anything about stocks. I asked a few friends and they do not know either. HELP? So is it better for the investors when the stock gains (went up in price) or when the stock declines (went down in price)?
thanks.
OK
Think of stock as having an small piece of ownership of a company. If you and four of your friends all were to put up $10 to buy something, you each would have 1/5 ownership of the item. If they gave it to you to hold and you issued a piece of paper saying each of your other friends has 1/5 share ownership, they would have "stock" in the item.
So now some time passes and the five of you decide to sell the item AND -- someone else is willing to give you $100 for the item. So you sell it and split the $100 five ways and each of you has $20 now.
So with stock, if the price goes up -- you as an investor are happy! But in our same scenerio, if the only buyer available was only willing to give you $25, you would take that $25 and split it 5 ways and each of you would only have $5. So with stock, if the price goes down - you are an investor are NOT happy.
Hope this helps.
