Why is trading with shares such an exciting and lucrative field? In the following, we have therefore compiled the 10 most important reasons why shares are perfect for trading and what opportunities and risks share trading has overall.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Around 43,000 companies are listed on the stock exchange worldwide. Between 1980 and 2020, the number of companies listed on the stock exchange alone has increased by around 150 percent. This, of course, offers you as a potential trader an unprecedented amount of opportunities to trade this asset class. You can also choose from various sectors such as consumer goods, technology, green energy, pharmaceuticals and many other economic sectors from which you can select shares for trading.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Compared to other types of trading, short-term stock trading is extremely cheap. You basically don't need anything more than your own trading account (which is often free) as well as some initial capital for trading. Here are a few typical costs that may be incurred when trading stocks:<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
With many new brokers, you can now also trade shares free of charge and only pay the broker a monthly flat fee of 2 to 10 euros on average. Stock trading without fees is also possible with some new brokers. It is worth comparing here!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Hardly any other asset class offers access to such varied and up-to-date news as shares. After all, companies listed on the stock exchange must regularly inform their shareholders of financial reports, management changes or other strategic news. In addition: quarterly reports, annual reports or balance sheets can be accessed and researched by you as a potential trader at any time on portals such as the Bundesanzeiger (Federal Gazette). News portals such as Finanzen, on the other hand, offer fast and uncomplicated access to all news from the world of finance.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> As a trader, you can of course also benefit from the advantages of the dividends that many stock corporations pay out to their shareholders. For DAX shares alone, the average current dividend yield is around 2.90 percent! Dividends thus mark a lucrative additional income for you in trading in the form of regular, passive earnings, which are available to you in addition to your price gains. Asset classes such as commodities or cryptocurrencies, which can also be traded, do not offer any such payouts.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> With many brokers you can use a maximum leverage of up to 1:5 when trading stocks. This means that you only have to contribute one five-hundredth of your own capital per trade - you borrow the remaining capital from your broker for the trade. The borrowed capital provided by the broker for this purpose is also referred to as \"leverage\". In order to use the leverage for yourself, you must deposit your \"margin\" (or \"safety reserve\") and pay a small interest fee. As soon as the trade is liquidated, the broker gets his capital back and you get your potential (to the invested equity) leveraged profit. Note, however, that this can also result in large losses at any time!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tReason No. 3: Transparent information and reports<\/strong><\/h2>
