I want to buy shares for the first time and i am a bit undecided about the shares to buy and what to consider when buying.

I would really appreciate if someone would advise me the factors to consider when choosing and possibly any good stocks to buy with 100k this month

Thanks for that. You are saying it will be a challenge getting quality and at a fair price and i would appreciate if you could elaborate who determines the price and the quality when i am the one buying

I do not know a lot about bonds and thus was thinking about shares

@Mkonomtupu Thanks for that. And something else i would want to know is: a reputable broker to open an account with them. In reality, if i request a broker to buy or sell a share can i set the limits at which they can buy or sell the share at? Also how long do they take before processing someones order?

I like dealing with small broker the staff know me personally they know how i like to execute my trades. The market works by you telling your broker how much you want to pay for a company e.g. if you think Kenol is worth 8/- a share you tell your broker that price, if a seller goes to his broker and says sell my kenol at 8/- then the brokers match up and you transact. Most people just tell the broker to buy at market price which means the broker will buy at the prevailing market price. If you believe the company is overvalued then you don't put your order at all and wait till the market valuation is lower. Your orders are valid for 30 days. Processing depends on whether there is a matching transaction usually within 3 days
