High Long-Term Returns Potential&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the major advantages of equity shares is capital appreciation and high return potential over time.

No Fixed Returns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ordinary shares or common shares do not promise fixed dividends or returns. Dividends depend on the performance of the company and if company cannot perform well shareholders do not get any returns on their investment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Limited Control&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although shareholders are partial owners of the company they have limited control over company&#39;s operations and decisions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.

It means investments can be converted into cash within few hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Ease Of Access&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Investing in stocks is more accessible than other forms of investment options because of low entry barrier.

Rapid Price Fluctuation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Market volatility is one of the main drawbacks of stock market investment. Stock prices can be fluctuated due to several factors such as economic condition, crisis, unfavorable news etc. It may cause substantial losses to the investors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.

Various factors like market condition, economic downturns, political factors etc, affect the business performance. In this situation, investors may loose partial or total investment. So, it does not guarantee returns like in saving or fixed accounts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.

Investors should understand company fundamentals and financial statements, they should analyze market trends before making an investment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.
