Is investing my money in shares a good idea?

Hello folks,

One of my uncle advice me to invest little amount of money in shares.
He said I can earn profit from it as a shareholder and I wouldn't face a big loss in case the share decreased because the amount is less.

Is it a good idea to invest money in shares?

can someone give a brief explanation about share investment functionality?



Thank you!

For longer-term goals, you may want to consider investing because inflation can seriously affect the value of cash savings over the medium and long-term.

Thanks for your advice Moana, I will consider your advice while planning my investment.

I would suggest you to learn more about the company before investing. Their growth in the last 5 years, their R&D's and other things which influence their share values. Investing in International stock market is lot better than Savings account in the bank.
