The last way I invest is by buying shares. Shares makes me a small co-owner of a big company, but has more investing risk than the other ways of investing I explained before. Sometimes I even have a little bit of power by visiting the shareholders meeting to vote. By buying a share I buy a very small percentage of a company. If I buy shares of companies that pay dividend I also share for a very small proportion in the profit of the large company. I buy shares of companies I buy things of or get service from, because then I have a very small say in how the product I buy is produced and sold, Very Small Input!
