Investment: Passive income

There are 2 types of income:
1) Active income
2) Passive income

Active income needs our physical presence like employee and self-employee. We may not earn if we are absent. Our salary is deducted when our paid leaves are exhausted.

Passive income does not need our presence. Our absence does not affect our business and investment.

We can earn bonus, dividend and interest from our investments.

Investment: Shareholder and dividend, bonus and split of shares

When we invest in a company and buy a share from the share market, we become a shareholder for the company.

We are then entitled to a share of the profit or loss of the company. The management of company can declare dividend, bonus share or split of share to reward its shareholders.

Share price moves up and down during the trading session and varies according to the performance of the company. Price appreciation is also the return against the investment for the investors. The shareholders can book the profit against the investments anytime or continue to hold the share for a longer time.
