What is Stocks?

Stocks, or shares as they are often called, are investments that represent ownership in a company.

Companies issue stocks in order to raise money so that they can grow and develop. When you buy a stock, you essentially become a part-owner of the underlying company and are entitled to a share of its profits.

Stocks are traded on stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the NASDAQ, the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

A stock exchange acts like a market where buyers of stocks can connect with sellers. To place a trade, you need an investment account with a stock broker or investment platform.
