Understanding Shares and Their Value
Shares represent part ownership in a business and are often misunderstood as random forms of gambling due to their fluctuating nature. It's essential to realize that buying a share in a company, such as Commonwealth Bank or Apple, gives you a small piece of ownership rather than being a mere monetary transaction. The price of a share doesn't necessarily reflect its quality; for instance, a higher-priced share doesn't mean a better investment. Instead, potential investors should focus on their overall investment strategy and what portion of ownership they are investing in, similar to owning a slice of pizza rather than simply measuring price.
