Takeaways

• 😀 A capital market is a platform where companies or institutions (like the government) meet with the public to raise funds for business expansion or operational needs.
• 😀 Investment goals should be aligned with the time frame: short-term (1-3 years), medium-term (3-5 years), or long-term (5+ years).
• 😀 Investors need to understand their risk profile, whether they prefer high risk for higher rewards or low risk for stability.
• 😀 It's essential to invest money that you can afford to set aside for investment, distinct from funds used for daily expenses.
• 😀 The capital market functions like a marketplace where buyers and sellers meet, but it specifically involves trading stocks, bonds, and other financial assets.
• 😀 A simple analogy is a bakso (meatball) vendor who needs capital. The vendor can either take a loan with repayment terms or offer a share of the profits to investors.
• 😀 Bonds represent debt in the capital market, where the issuer promises to repay the amount with interest over time.
• 😀 Shares represent ownership in a company, and investors who buy shares share in the profits of the company.
• 😀 When a company goes public, it offers its shares through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and becomes a public company (Tbk).
• 😀 Stock prices are determined by supply and demand, influenced by how many people are willing to buy or sell at certain prices.
• 😀 A public company must disclose its financial and operational information regularly, ensuring transparency with its shareholders.
