There is no denying the fact that the share market can be extremely hard to understand. If you have just started investing in the share market, you will find it a daunting and confusing task to read about, let alone take part in. To understand why this is so, we need to look at what exactly the share market is all about.

What is a Share Market and How Does it Work?

A share market is a marketplace for the buying and selling of shares in companies. It's a place where you can buy and sell stocks. You can make money from the difference between what you pay for them and how much they are worth when you sell them.

In a share market, there are two types of people: investors and traders. Investors buy shares with long-term goals in mind, while traders buy and sell them quickly intending to make a quick profit.

Investors buy shares because they want to own part of the company or earn dividends over time. Traders will buy shares if they think they'll be able to sell them at a higher price in no time. Alternatively, they think there is going to be an increase in demand for that company's products or services. That way they can make more money than they put into buying those shares in the first place.

How to Deal with Stock Market Risks

Here are some tips to help you deal with stock market risks.

    Plan your trades carefully

If you want to trade stocks, ensure you have a strategy before you start. The last thing you want is to find yourself in a situation where a trade isn't working out and not having any idea what to do next. You will also want to ensure you are comfortable with your risk tolerance level. It will help you avoid taking on too much risk for your portfolio size or financial situation.

    Set stop-loss and take-profit targets

A stop-loss is a predetermined price that you set for your shares. If the price goes below this point you will automatically sell your shares. This can help prevent you from losing more money than anticipated when investing in the stock market.

A take-profit target is a price at which you would like to sell your shares once they have increased in value. This helps you lock in a profit on an investment before it loses its value again or drops further down in price than expected.

    Diversify your portfolio

One of the most important things you can do to protect your investments from market fluctuations is to diversify your portfolio. Diversification means spreading out your investments so that if one type of investment loses value, it doesn't affect all your other investments. You should have stocks, bonds, and other types of investments in your portfolio so that there are no single points of failure.

    Invest in Blue-Chip Stocks

Blue-chip stocks are large, well-established companies that have been around for a long time and have a history of being profitable. These companies tend to be less risky than start-ups or small businesses because they have more resources, have been around longer, and have more experience.
