📄 What is the Share Market?

The share market is a place where people buy and sell shares of companies. When you buy a share, you own a small part of that company. If the company does well, your money can grow.

📌 What is NEPSE?

NEPSE stands for Nepal Stock Exchange. It is the official market where buying and selling of shares happens in Nepal. All listed companies trade through NEPSE. You need a DEMAT account to start investing.

🔧 How Does It Work?

• Companies list their shares on NEPSE
• Investors buy shares through brokers using their DEMAT account
• The price of shares goes up or down based on demand and company performance
• You can sell your shares later and earn a profit or face a loss

🏦 Why Do People Invest?

People invest in the share market to grow their money. You can earn in two ways — by selling shares at a higher price or getting dividends (a part of the company’s profit).

🧠 Tips for Beginners

• Start small and learn slowly
• Do not follow rumors or tips blindly
• Read company details before investing
