These pages are an 試みる／企てる to 利益／興味 beginners in the 可能性 of using the 株式市場 as a 乗り物 for 投資.

They come to you from a 完全にする amateur... but someone who has been doing 株式市場 投資するing since 1991. Read no その上の if you don't subscribe to the theory that anything you do (or don't do) is your 責任／義務, not 地雷.

投資するing in the 株式市場 is やめる simple. I 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う that even in these form-crazed days, we could walk into a 仲買人's office with $2000 in cash, open an account, and buy 10 株 of 在庫／株 in some company.

The idea behind buying 株 is simple.

We hope that at some 未来 date we will be able to sell the 株 on to someone else for more that we paid for the 株. Of course, いつかs when we go to sell 株, they are 価値（がある） いっそう少なく than we paid for them.

Even when the 株 are 価値（がある） more, we いつかs "lose"... how?

(Think! Can you come up with the answer yourself???

Here's how we can lose money even when the price of our 株 goes up.

Suppose you bought 100 株 of Agilent, ticker symbol is "A", at the start of 2010. They would have cost about $30 per 株. By the end of the year, you would be feeling pretty clever... Agilent was selling then for $41 per 株... $1100 利益（をあげる）, if you cashed out.

However... has you 投資するd the same $3,000 in Tata モーターs, creator of the "Nano", India's "Volkswagen", and owner of Jaguar, Land Rover, etc, then by the end of the year you would have had a 利益（をあげる） of $1700... Tata went from $17/shr to $27/shr in the same period. (Prices as adjusted for その後の 分裂（する）s, up to March 2012.)

(To digress... Going 支援する to buying Agilent, ticker "A"... Surely Maria would 認可する of starting at the beginning? Although perhaps she would have us start with 株 in the tractor 製造業者 John Deere, ticker "DE"? (Deere went from $39 to $43 over the same period... but has done better (and worse!) in other periods.) End of digression!)

Owning 株 is 比較して painless and 危険 解放する／自由な. You could 投資する in a racehorse, instead of in 株. (If you had rather more than $2000.) But while he was yours, you'd be 直面するd with 住宅, feeding, and training him, etc. And he could break a 脚 at any time.

その上に, while you own company 株, you may receive （株主への）配当s. Some companies 支払う／賃金 no （株主への）配当 at all, and those that do 支払う／賃金 （株主への）配当s at different 率s... but they can be an extra 推論する／理由 to own 株. (恐れる not: the ones that don't 支払う／賃金 （株主への）配当s have other attractions.) (Agilent, Tata and Deere paid, per 株, nothing, $0.30, and $1.84 それぞれ in 2010.)

So! Really simple!

Buy 株 today. Collect （株主への）配当s. Sell the 株 later.

Ha! If only.

The point of this website is to try to help you see the 詳細（に述べる）s of 投資するing in the 株式市場. I am going to pretend that I won $100,000 on a 宝くじ ticket on 3 March 2012, and used that to start some 株式市場 投資するing. I will try to 伝える the reality of 投資するing to the extent that will be necessary for the reader to understand what it takes to 投資する. But I will also be taking some short-削減（する）s, to keep the 重荷（を負わせる） of 詳細（に述べる） manageable.

I hope you will "join the party" and enjoy に引き続いて the saga of Sheepdog Guides 投資するing.

So! Where next?

The に引き続いて is a 部分的な／不平等な 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of pages in the Sheepdog Guides 投資するing 場所／位置. Each will open in a new tab or window.

Not only are there pages explaining general 原則s and considerations, but there will be an 現在進行中の account of a hypothetical 大臣の地位, which will not be "fudged"... it will 反映する my actual "知恵" (or foolishness) as an 投資家 of what started as $100,000 in March 2012.

• 現在の holdings
• Diary... thoughts on things, as they arose
• "Accounts".. using the 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 loosely... cash movements, おもに
• 処理／取引s.. changes in holdings
• Tale of three sales... I think I got lucky.
