hello. well i was just wandering, if i were a shareholder, and more people started buying shares for the company ive invested in, would it be good for me? or bad? because there are more people investing, so would it not be bad because you want to have the most shares in a company? but im not sure-so confused! thanks a lot. :)
Additional info, added Tuesday July 3 2007, 4:52 pm: thanks for the answers so far, but i really wanted to know if it was good if the company wasnt doing so well, like low profit etc. guess i forgot, lol thanks.

but regardless, you still have the same amount of shares you bought, because the ones that others are buys are those that others are selling.. and if anything if the demand and price for it goes up so much to tbhe point of maybe even doubling, there a point where the stocks would be broken in half, BUT, lets say you have 10 shares, and its divided so the price of the shares go down in half.. the price of each of your shares would go down, but you would still have the same amount under your possesion since you would get an extra 10 shares, having 20 in total =)
sorry if its a bit confussing...
but basically, its a goodthing for others to invest, because your profit then increases =)

It's definalty a good thing that other people are investing as that means more capital for the business, which will mean improvements and the value of your current shares going up. [ Master_Betty's advice column | Ask Master_Betty A Question ]
