Equity investment
Equity investment is the buying and holding of shares of stock on a stock market by individuals and funds in anticipation of income from dividends and capital gain as the value of the stock rises. An investor may buy shares, that is ownership equity, of a company or bonds, that is debt of a company. Diversification both between debt and equity and between different companies is often recommended as is the practice of "buying low and selling high," should one be so wise and quick. [1] To try to predict good stocks to invest in, two main schools of thought exist: technical analysis and fundamentals analysis. Opponents of the use of the past records of stocks as a gauge of future performance, as practiced in technical and fundamental analysis, can also invest via index investing.
