How to invest in shares?
What’s so good about shares?
Shares are easy to understand. Shares can provide better returns over the long-term.
As a long term investment,shares have the potential to provide better returns than any other major investment.

This is called diversification.
Diversification is spreading your money. If you’re the kind of investor who likes a good night’s sleep as well as strong returns, diversification is a must. Investors have been able to reduce the overall volatility of their portfolio and increase returns by investing in a diversified mix of shares.
Shares are a long term investment:Investors who have made money from shares tend to view share investment as a get rich slow scheme.
Tax:
Companies have already paid tax on their profits, tax credits known as franking credits may be attached to the dividends that a company pays you. These credits can be used to offset tax payable by you on other income.
Shares are liquid
If you invest directly in shares and need to access your money in a hurry, it's relatively simple to sell your shares. In fact, you can normally buy and sell the same shares many times in one day.

Compare this with owning property - you’d be doing well to buy and sell a property in a month.

What is a share?
A share is a basic unit of ownership in a company, the company’s profits released as dividends.
Why do companies issue shares?
To raise capital. The company may be seeking capital to fund the purchase of new equipment or premises, diversify their operations or expand into new markets.
What makes the share price rise or fall?
There are many reasons why the value of shares increase or decrease, market and economic conditions, other financial markets and investor expectations, but generally it gets back to supply and demand.
If there are more people who want to buy shares than people who want to sell them, the share price rises. If there are fewer people who want to buy than people who want to sell, the share price falls.
