Investing in Stock Market

This document discusses a survey of 10 respondents about investing in the stock market. 80% of respondents were new investors aged 18-24, primarily students. 60% were students, 30% private employees, and 10% businessmen. Most made weekly or monthly investments based on advice from financial experts over family and friends. Respondents preferred buying fundamentally strong growth stocks at low prices and selling when values increased for diversification, future security, and safety.
