In this post, we will cover the Different Types of Stocks that can be available for Online Stock Trading. In our experience, the different types of stocks confuse most new investors. It is important to understand what type of stock you are buying, and what are the various types of stocks that a company has issued already, or is planning to issue.
Common Stock is a term that you will hear often. Anyone can purchase common stock, regardless of age, income, age, or financial standing. Common stock is essentially part ownership in the business you are investing in. As the company grows and earns money, the value of your stock rises.

Our analysis says we are likely to see positive moves in most of the global stock markets in the first half of 2011. The first half of 2011 will be volatile with upwards bias, and the second half will have a downward bias.
One of the best long term investment opportunities available today is the stock of DLF — India’s largest real estate developer, and a constituent of Nifty 50 Index. We believe property prices in India have increased nothing compared to the rise we will see in next 5 years. Thanks for QE2, global liquidity will continue to flow into India during the next 5 years, and all commodity prices including property will increase in the emerging markets like India; property prices may increase significantly more than metals. The recent plot sale of Rs 5 billion by DLF is a good example of how they can start monetizing land bank assets, which DLF has in plenty. If you want to trade DLF for Rs 20-30 gains, that’s your decision. However, we believe one can confidently buy at any price between 250 and 300 (which we got last week as well) and hold this stock for over 250% gain in 4-5 years, by when the stock may cross Rs 1000.
