On investing, there is always a risk element and the investment in shares is no exception. The risk here is related to the possible loss of some of the invested funds. As a shareholder, you can win a lot, but you can lose if you sell shares at a lower price than the one at which they were purchased.

It is also possible that the company in which you have invested does not distribute dividend, which, however, does not mean that you lose. If the company’s activity is successful and it has invested in promising projects, which usually means higher profit expectations in the future and consequently allocation of high dividends. Moreover, the share price of a thriving company increases and thereby you gain from the price difference, even if dividends are not to be distributed.
