We’re in the season of giving, which means a lot of gifting to friends, family, and the people closest to you. That also means there will be a lot of money going around, from the process of purchasing, selling, and the transport of goods, which affect the value of the businesses doing so and the product itself. Most investors, those with common sense, nonetheless buy into company stock during this holiday season.
To begin, let us understand these economic terms such as “stock”. What everyone should already know, is that the economy is the circulation of money and currency throughout businesses and large corporations that make nations and the entire world run. Without the economy, there would be no median of currency, which means no order and balance. The phrase “to buy stock in a company”, means as it sounds. Stock are parts of a business or corporation that is put into the market for purchase. Economic changes make the value of the stock higher or lower depending on the change. A “share” of a company is the smaller, sub-versions of a company’s stock that can be purchased for ownership. Shares can vary in value and can be purchased in large amounts.
The point of investing in stock and buying shares is to make money. The majority of people do this on the side, usually long term, as they have a main career to focus on. Those who make a career out of investments are known as investors. Usually they work for themselves, but sometimes they work as “brokers”, a company that invests for you. A career in investment could be time consuming, but it all comes down to preference.
During this season, the value of these big corporations and companies stocks goes up drastically. The best way to benefit from this would be to buy shares before the value increases, so before the gift buying occurs. Then, right before the purchasing of gifts declines, you sell them. This way, you benefit from the amount of increased value the corporation gained from that said time. It is important that you buy and sell shares at the right times, since if you buy a share in a time period of high demand, then sell when they are in low demand, you can lose a lot of money.
With that being said, there are many important companies and corporations that investors recommend to put money into. A top company stock is Amazon. Nowadays, everyone is purchasing products online, and buying gifts through Amazon’s online service is always a popular choice this season. Another reason could be what journalist John Ballard had to say from his article 3 Top Stocks To Buy This Holiday Season. He states, “Amazon has been investing heavily in AI for its cloud computing business, which has experienced accelerating growth over the last year and remains a strong catalyst for the stock, since Amazon Web Services generate most of the company’s operating profit.” New technological developments in artificial intelligence will make it even easier to use these online services, which will then lead to more use and increased development of its stock. Other companies to invest in include Hasbro and Target. Hasbro makes many children’s toys, so it will always be held in great consideration. Target, a retail store, is the one selling these Hasbro toys. But with e-commerce on the rise, this Target investment is in the air.
Other stock that is in doubt includes Apple, Samsung, Sony, and Microsoft. These companies are always in technological battles with one another for the newest, best electronic devices. This means the stock is constantly fluctuating depending on their performance compared to the rival company.
To conclude, investments during this season can always benefit the most. Patience is an important part, but it doesn’t happen right away. Always beware and stay cautious, since the market never stops changing.
