You should be able to analyse each available product and make a determination as to its investment potential. If you are unable to analyse or make investment selection, it is recommended that you seek assistance from your stockbroker or other professional financial advisors. Be long term minded Stock market investment is for long term minded investors. Although short term gains and losses may be encountered, your investment decisions should be more long term focused. Being long term minded does not mean keeping a blind eye to profitable short term opportunities that may not be repeated or keeping a blind eye to risk warning parameters that may hamper the investment’s long term appeal. Shares Shares represent part-ownership in a business concern. If you buy shares of a listed company, you become a shareholder and become vested with shareholder rights which include voting at the company’s Annual General Meetings. To invest in shares, one can engage a licensed securities dealer or directly through the C-TRADE platform. A list of licensed Securities dealers is available on the SECZ, ZSE and FINSEC websites.
