Face value, Book Value, Market Value

We often hear the saying, "Don't jump into something without understanding it fully." This applies to investing in the stock market as well. Before investing, it's important to have complete information about it.

Today, we will learn about three key values in the stock market: Face Value, Book Value, and Market Value

Face Value:

The face value of a company refers to the initial value of a share when the company is started.

 For instance, if $10,000 is invested in a company and it is divided into 1,000 shares, the face value of each share is $10.

Investment                                      $10000

----------------- = Face value $10 

Number of shares                              1000


Book Value:

The book value of a company is the current value of the company, which is calculated by subtracting any outstanding debt from the company's assets.

 (Value of                                    company + assets) - Debt

---------------------- = Book Value 

Number of shares

For example, if the value of the company is $20,000 and it has 1,000 shares, the book value per share would be $20.

 $20,000

 --------------= Book value $20

    1,000


Market Value:

When a company is listed on a stock exchange, its value in the stock market fluctuates based on demand. This value is known as the market value of the company. It is important to note that the market value changes every day depending on demand.

In conclusion, it's essential to have a good understanding of these fundamental values before investing in the stock market. By knowing the basics, we can make informed investment decisions..

What is Mutual Fund and How it Works, Definition of Mutual Fund...

A mutual fund is a simple way to invest money. Instead of investing by ourselves, we give our money to a professional called a Fund Manager who knows a lot about investing.  The Fund Manager takes care of our money and tries to make it grow by buying stocks, bonds, gold, and other investments. When we invest in a mutual fund, our money is combined with money from other people who are also investing in the same fund. This reduces the risk because the money is spread out and invested in different places. There are two ways to invest our money in a mutual fund.   One way is to invest a large amount of money all at once.  The other way is to invest a smaller amount regularly, like every month or every week. This is called a systematic investment plan (SIP). Mutual funds are a good option for people who aren't experienced or don't have time to manage their investments. The Fund Manager takes care of everything and tries to make our money grow.

Small things we do can make big changes in our lives. Today, we will learn about a rule that is related to this idea. This rule is called the 80/20 Rule.      According to this rule, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions.  It was discovered by a person named Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto, so it is also known as the Pareto Principle. When he studied the world economy, he found that 20% of the people own 80% of the money in the world.  He also found that 20% of his pea plants make 80% of the peas.   Similarly, 80% of a company's profit comes from 20% of its customers. He saw this pattern in many situations, which led him to create the 80/20 rule or the Pareto principle.  By using this rule correctly, we can achieve success.   For example, let's say we feel very worried and there are 10 problems causing our anxiety.   Out of these, 2 problems (20%) are responsible for 80% of our worry. If we find and solve those 2 problems, most...
