Stocks
Capital Ingenuity can help you understand the complexities of investing in stocks.

An investor who buys the common stock of a corporation is literally buying an ownership interest in that corporation. Ownership interests are divided and sold as "shares" of stock in a particular company. As a shareholder, investors have certain privileges. For example, owners of common stocks have certain voting rights, are entitled to attend annual shareholder meetings, and can receive any dividends that are declared.

Generally, investors make investments in stock for the opportunity to receive dividends and for the possibility of capital gain, which is what occurs when an investor can sell their shares for a higher price than which they were purchased. While investors in stocks hope the values of their stocks will increase in value, it should be noted that an investment in a stock can instead lose some or all of its value.

While investment in stocks does involve a variety of risks, it can also be extremely rewarding. At Capital Ingenuity, we help our clients learn to understand the risks that are associated with stock investment in general as well as the risks that can be present in specific stocks they are considering. Additionally, we teach our clients a variety of strategies that are used in the stock selection process and different ways to analyze stock investments.
