How Profit is generated from stock market
There are a number of ways through that one can make profit from stock market, like capital gains, right issue, etc. Investors can profit in the stock market through any or a combination of the following:
 
Capital Gains
Capital Gains are profits made due to an increase in the market price of a stock from the buying price. Market price of a stock/share will keep on changing each moment. There is no guarantee that you can sell the shares at the same price you have bought or for a higher price. If you are able to sell the share for a higher price than its purchase price, you have made capital gain. For example; think you have bought the share of Reliance Industries for Rs. 1900 after few days you sold it for Rs. 2100. Here you have made a capital gain of Rs. 200 (i.e. 2100-1900=200).


There is a possibility of making capital loss also. If there is a decrease in stock price from the purchase price, it will lead to capital loss. For example; if you have bought the shares of Reliance industries at Rs. 1900 and after few days you sold it for 1700, you have to face a capital loss of Rs. 200 (i.e. 1900-1700=200)


Cash Dividend
Sometimes companies declare cash dividend to its share holders. Cash Dividend is a dividend given to shareholders in the form of cash. Apart from capital gains it is another form of revenue for an investor. Cash dividend is declared on the face value of the share. It is computed by multiplying the number of shares held by a person by the cash dividend rate declared.


For example; Mr. Arjun is holding 1000 shares of “X” company and the company is declared a dividend of 20% on its face value. Face value of the share is Rs. 10/-. In this case Mr. Arjun will receive a dividend of Rs. 2/- on each share (10 x 20% = 2) so total cash dividend of Mr. Arjun is Rs. 2000/- (1000 x 2 = 2000). Below given is a simple formula to find out the total dividend on the number of shares held.


Dividend = (Dividend Rate x Face Value of share) x No. of shares


Stock Dividend
Stock Dividend is a dividend given to shareholders in the form of additional stocks. It works similar to cash dividend, instead of cash, stocks will be issued to share holders. It is computed by multiplying the number of shares held by the percentage of the stock dividend declared.


Stock Dividend = No. of shares held x percentage of the stock dividend declared


Right Issue/ Stock Rights
Right issue is the option given to the existing shareholders of a company to buy additional shares of the company at a price lower than its market price. In other words when the company goes for further issue, it gives the first preference to the employees and the present share holders this is called right issue. Right issue helps in getting the shares at reduced price.
