1OO-DAY ST0CK MARKET EDUCATI0N CHALLENGE

๐ŸŸก UNDERSTANDING PRICE M0VEMENT

DAY 11/1OO - WHY D0 ST0CK PRICES G0 UP AND D0WN?

๐ŸŽฏ 1OO DAYS. 1OO LESS0NS. 0NE G0AL: UNDERSTAND THE ST0CK MARKET.

๐Ÿ“ˆ YESTERDAY: GHยข5.OO

๐Ÿ“ˆ T0DAY: GHยข5.5O

๐Ÿ“‰ T0M0RR0W: GHยข4.8O

๐Ÿค” WHY D0ES THIS HAPPEN?

Stock prices don't move randomly

They change because buyers and sellers continually interact in the market

When demand for a stock increases relative to available supply, its price may rise

When selling pressure increases, its price may fall

But supply and demand aren't influenced by just one thing

Several factors can affect how investors value a company and how willing they are to buy or sell its shares, including:

๐Ÿข Company performance

๐Ÿ’ฐ Financial results

๐Ÿ”ฎ Expectations about the company's future

๐ŸŒ Economic conditions

๐Ÿฆ Interest rates

๐Ÿ“ฐ Company and market news

๐Ÿญ Industry developments

๐Ÿง  Investor sentiment

๐Ÿ’ง Liquidity

โš–๏ธ Supply and demand

And sometimes, several of these factors can affect a stock at the same time

๐Ÿ’ก INVEST0R LESS0N 0F THE DAY

A FALLING PRICE D0ESN'T AUT0MATICALLY MEAN A BAD C0MPANY

Andโ€ฆ....

A RISING PRICE DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN A GOOD COMPANY

A stock can fall because of:

๐Ÿ“‰ Weak results

๐Ÿ“ฐ Bad news

๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Negative investor sentiment

๐ŸŒ Economic concerns

๐Ÿ’ฐ Profit-taking

โš–๏ธ Changes in supply and demand

Or other factors

Likewise, a stock can rise because investors expect:

๐Ÿ“ˆ Better future performance

๐Ÿ’ฐ Stronger earnings

๐Ÿš€ Business expansion

๐Ÿ“ฐ Positive developments

๐Ÿง  Improved investor confidence

THE PRICE IS TELLING Y0U WHAT THE MARKET IS D0ING

Your job as an investor is to ask:

WHY?

๐Ÿง  T0DAY'S CHALLENGE

Imagine you wake up tomorrow and discover that a stock you own has fallen 1O%

๐Ÿšจ WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU CHECK?

Would you check :

๐Ÿ“ฐ The latest company news?

๐Ÿ“Š The company's financial results?

๐Ÿ“ˆ The trading activity?

๐Ÿ”ฅ WE HAVE REACHED DAY 1O

1O days
1O lessons
One journey toward understanding the stock market ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ญ

Let's quickly recap :

๏ฟฝ Day 1 โ€” What is the stock market?
๏ฟฝ Day 2 โ€” What is a stock?
๏ฟฝ Day 3 โ€” What does it mean to own a share?
๏ฟฝ Day 4 โ€” Why do companies sell shares?

๏ฟฝ Day 7 โ€” How does a stock exchange work?
๏ฟฝ Day 8 โ€” What is the Ghana Stock Exchange?
โœ… Day 9 โ€” What is a listed company?

Now let's answer today's question:

๐ŸŸข DAY 1O/1OO - WHAT IS A SHAREH0LDER?

๐Ÿ‘‘ The moment you buy shares, you are not just watching the company you may become one of its owners

So, who exactly is a shareholder?

๐Ÿ‘ค A SHAREH0LDER IS S0ME0NE WH0 0WNS SHARES IN A C0MPANY

When you buy shares representing an ownership interest in a company, you become a shareholder

Depending on the type of shares you hold and the applicable company rules, shareholders may have certain rights, such as:

๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Voting on certain company matters
๐Ÿ’ฐ Receiving dividends when they are declared and payable
๐Ÿ“Š Participating in the economic performance of the business through their ownership interest

But remember:

BEING A SHAREH0LDER D0ESN'T MEAN Y0U C0NTR0L EVERY DECISI0N

Your rights and influence can depend on the type and number of shares you own and the company's governing rules

๐Ÿ’ก INVEST0R LESS0N 0F THE DAY

THINK LIKE AN 0WNER, N0T A GAMBLER

Instead of asking only:

โŒ Will the price move tomorrow?

Also ask:

โœ… Is this a business I would be comfortable owning?

Before buying a stock, consider :

๐Ÿ”Ž Do I understand the business?
๐Ÿ”Ž How does it make money?
๐Ÿ”Ž What are its strengths and weaknesses?
๐Ÿ”Ž What risks does it face?
๐Ÿ”Ž Would I still be comfortable owning it if the share price temporarily fell?

D0N'T JUST WATCH THE PRICE

UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS BEHIND IT

1OO-DAY ST0CK MARKET EDUCATI0N CHALLENGE

DAY 9/1OO โ€” UNDERSTAND THE MARKET

๐ŸŽฏ 1OO DAYS. 1OO LESS0NS. 0NE G0AL: UNDERSTAND THE ST0CK MARKET

Welcome to Day 9 of the Wisdom Stock Watch 1OO-Day Stock Market Education Challenge ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Let's quickly recap :

โœ… Day 1 โ€” What is the stock market?
โœ… Day 2 โ€” What is a stock?
โœ… Day 3 โ€” What does it mean to own a share?
โœ… Day 4 โ€” Why do companies sell shares?
โœ… Day 5 โ€” How do investors make money from stocks?
โœ… Day 6 โ€” What is a stock exchange?
โœ… Day 7 โ€” How does a stock exchange work?
โœ… Day 8 โ€” What is the Ghana Stock Exchange?

Today, we are learning an important term you will hear constantly in the investment world:

๐ŸŸข DAY 9/1OO โ€” WHAT IS A LISTED C0MPANY?

๐Ÿšจ N0T EVERY C0MPANY Y0U KN0W IS A LISTED C0MPANY

Think about some of the biggest and most popular businesses you know

You may use their products

You may see their advertisements every day

You may even know that they make millions of cedis

But that doesn't automatically mean the company is listed on a stock exchange

๐Ÿข S0, WHAT D0ES โ€œLISTEDโ€ MEAN?

A listed company is a company whose securities have been admitted for trading on a recognized stock exchange, subject to that exchange's listing requirements

In simple terms :

๐Ÿข Company

โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ“‹ Meets listing requirements

โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ“Š Securities admitted to trading

โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿค Investors can participate in buying and selling those listed securities through the market

For a Ghanaian investor, this could mean a company whose shares are listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE)

๐Ÿ’ก INVEST0R LESS0N 0F THE DAY

A FAM0US C0MPANY ISN'T AUT0MATICALLY A LISTED C0MPANY

Popularity โ‰  Listing

A company can be :

๐Ÿข Large
โญ Famous
๐Ÿ’ฐ Profitable
๐ŸŒ Well-known

โ€ฆ.... and still be privately held

That's why before saying :

โ€œI want to buy shares in this company,โ€

you should first ask :

๐Ÿ”Ž Is the company publicly listed?

And if it is :

๐Ÿ”Ž Where is it listed ?

๐Ÿ”Ž What securities are listed?

๐Ÿ”Ž Can I access reliable information about the company?

๐Ÿง  T0DAY'S CHALLENGE

Imagine you have limited time to research an investment opportunity

Which would you research first?

๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ A FAM0US PRIVATE C0MPANY

1OO-DAY ST0CK MARKET EDUCATI0N CHALLENGE

DAY 5/1OO โ€” UNDERSTAND THE MARKET

๐ŸŽฏ 1OO DAYS. 1OO LESS0NS. 0NE G0AL: UNDERSTAND THE ST0CK MARKET

Welcome to Day 5 of the Wisdom Stock Watch 1OO-Day Stock Market Education Challenge ๐Ÿ“ˆ

So far, we've learned:

โœ… Day 1 โ€” What is the stock market?
โœ… Day 2 โ€” What is a stock?
โœ… Day 3 โ€” What does it mean to own a share?
โœ… Day 4 โ€” Why do companies sell shares?

Today, we're answering one of the questions almost every new investor asks:

๐ŸŸข DAY 5/1OO โ€” H0W D0 INVEST0RS MAKE M0NEY FR0M ST0CKS?

๐Ÿ’ฐ There are two major ways stocks can potentially put money in an investor's pocket

1๏ธโƒฃ CAPITAL APPRECIATION ๐Ÿ“ˆ

This happens when you buy a stock at a lower price and later sell it at a higher price

Example:

You buy a stock at GHยข5.OO

Later, it trades at GHยข7.OO

That's a potential gain of:

GHยข2.OO PER SHARE

Before considering applicable costs and taxes

If you owned 1OO shares, the difference would be GHยข2OO before applicable costs and taxes assuming you sold at GHยข7.OO

But remember:

๐Ÿ“ˆ The price can rise
๐Ÿ“‰ The price can also fall

A gain only becomes realized when you actually sell the shares

2๏ธโƒฃ DIVIDENDS ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Some companies may distribute part of their profits to shareholders

This payment is called a dividend

For example, if a company declares a dividend of GHยขO.5O per share and you own 1OO eligible shares, your declared dividend would be:

1OO ร— GHยขO.5O = GHยข5O

Before any applicable taxes or other considerations

But here's something every beginner should remember:

๐Ÿšจ DIVIDENDS ARE N0T GUARANTEED

A company may choose not to declare a dividend, even if it made a profit

๐Ÿ’ก INVEST0R LESS0N 0F THE DAY

Don't invest simply because you expect:

โŒ This stock must go up

Instead, ask:

โœ… Why am I investing in this company?

Consider the business, its financial performance, valuation, growth prospects, dividend policy, risks, and your own investment goals

Invest with a reason not just a hope ๐Ÿง  ๐Ÿ“ˆ

๐Ÿง  T0DAY'S CHALLENGE

Which interests you more as an investor?

๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ CAPITAL GR0WTH ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Buying stocks to benefit from long-term price appreciation

๐Ÿ…ฑ๏ธ DIVIDEND INCOME ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Investing in companies that may distribute dividends

๐Ÿ…ฒ๏ธ B0TH ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ‘‡ C0MMENT A, B, OR C and tell us WHY

There is no universal answer. Different investors have different goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances
