People make money from investing in shares by selling them at higher prices (capital gains), receiving regular payments from companies (dividends), holding them long-term to benefit from company growth, timing the market to buy low and sell high, diversifying investments to reduce risk, and through corporate actions like stock splits and buybacks.

Historically, investing in shares traces back to the 16th century where merchants sought funds for trading expeditions. They would sell shares in their voyages, promising a return based on the profits. This system blossomed into stock exchanges where people could buy and sell shares of companies, turning investing into a popular way to build wealth over time.
In today’s world, people make money from stocks mainly through capital gains and dividends. When you buy shares at a lower price and sell them at a higher price, the difference is your profit—also known as capital gain. Additionally, many companies distribute a portion of their profits as dividends, providing investors with a steady stream of income, all while they hold on to their shares!

In the past, the United States exported more goods and services than it imported. However, since 1975 it has bought more goods from other nations than it has sold and thus has a trade deficit. Over the past few years, the United States ran its highest trade deficits with China. Still the United States remains one of the world's largest exporting nations even though the U.S. exports a much lower percentage of its products than other countries, such as China, Japan and Germany. Improving that percentage by expanding exports is a goal the U.S. hopes to achieve by 2015 . Source: William Nickels, et al. Understanding Business, 10e. (i) Instructions Goods exported from the U.S. used to be more numerous than those imported into this country. But starting in 1975, the U.S. has had a trade deficit, especially with China in recent years. However, even though the U.S. exports a relatively low percentage of its goods, it is still among the most prolific exporters in the world, and the quality of its exports is unsurpassed. By 2015, the U.S. would like to export a larger percentage of its goods in order to become an even more influential world superpower (Nickels et al., 2014).
