What are shares?
Share market (eg London Stock Exchange)
— Companies looking to raise money (capital)
— Company sells part ownership:
Investor becomes an owner of the company
— Different from a loan (corporate bond): money
paid back with interest.
— You may never get your money back with shares
(risky?)

Why invest?
Rewards
— Dividends: a share of the companies profits
— similar to interest in a bank account
— superior returns to a savings account
— Growth: appreciation of asset price
— price could collapse to zero
— Voting rights – determine how company is run
Riskier than bonds or cash but potentially greater rewards

Market Dynamics --- What drives prices?
Supply vs Demand
— Low demand: lower price Low supply: higher price
— High demand: higher price High supply: lower price
— Supply:
— How many shares are there in existence? (millions)
— Are there many sellers? (market conditions)
— Is there easy access? (stockbroker availability)
The supply side is probably easier to
understand.

Market Dynamics
— Demand:
— How popular is the company? (hot tech stock)
— Are there many buyers? (crowded market place)
— What drives popularity?
— How do we determine a fair price for the company?
— Are we willing to pay a premium in order to get a great company?
— What about sentiment? (good news and bad news)
Decision making in the market place is like a virus.
An idea spreads as it gains popularity.
Irrationality can take over.

Analysis strategies
Fundamental vs Technical
— Fundamental analysis
judge company value and determine fair price
— long term investment (years)
— short term price movement irrelevant
— want good history of dividends
— Technical analysis
determine how price will change
— short term focus (weeks/days/seconds)
— trading not investing
— fundamentals not important
— use technical indicators / complex models
