Basic concepts

First of all, the following concepts * are essential to be able to understand the movements of any commercial, investor or intermediary, and not stay in the attempt.

• Profitability ratios: they measure the performance of an investment, relating the benefits obtained with different magnitudes.
• Profit: the difference between income and expenses of an investment.
• Goodwill: gains generated by an increase in the market price of a security.
• Risk: level of uncertainty about the evolution of an asset, it indicates the possibility that an investment offers a different return than expected – either higher or lower.
• Asset: the set of assets and rights of a company or person, both what is owned and what is owed.
• Commission: charged by one of the parties in a negotiation or investment as remuneration for any services.

The stock market

Investing in the financial market is the first option for most people. However, you should keep in mind that if you want to be successful, and not just keep your money, you need dedication and follow-up on the current market.

Business investment

Instead of investing in a company indirectly through an intermediary in the Stock Market or stock market, you can also choose to get a percentage in shares of a company directly, small or medium and with a potential upward projection.

The Real-estate market

The real estate market is one of the best and most demanding options for savers and investors who want to see their capital increase easily and at any type of term. We also have several ways of producing profits, in the same sense that happened with the purchase of assets:

• Through the rent paid by the tenant, fixed, secure and long-term profitability.
• Through the capital gain between the purchase and sale. Often you invest in a renovation or refurbishment when you buy that increases the last sale value. For example, if, in addition to the purchase of the premises, we invest an amount in a reform that improves its image and conditioning, the new market price will have increased considerably more than what we have invested in the reform. Thus increasing the capital gain and, therefore, our profit in the operation.

Real estate sectors
