A share market is a risk spreading mechanis as well as a financing one. Firms sell shares to the public, and using this money, they undertake various projects. In return, the buyers of these shares can share in the profit of the firm, in the form of dividends. Also, shares may appreciate (or depreciate) and when a share is sold, the shareholder can realise a profit in terms of capital gains. When one buys a share, he owns a "fraction/share" of a company, and thus has a claim on a "fraction/share" of the profit made by that compay..

Shares are usually bought and sold on a stock exchange, through a stock broker, who interacts between the seller and the buyer. However, shares can also be purchased through electronic means, such as electronic stock brokers.

Return is determined by the risk of company. Risk means a deviation from an expected outcome. Thus, if you have a positive outcome, such a increased demand for a product, or the firm makes large profits, your share value rises. For negative outcomes it falls.

Stocks are a sure, yet risky way to make money.
The South African market made a average return of 37% in 2006, whereas the Chinese average 98% or so!!!
