Understanding Stocks
Stocks, also known as shares or equities, are the units of investment in individual companies. A stock represents ownership of a company, as well as a claim on the company’s assets and earnings. A shareholder of a public company can enjoy dividends from the company’s profits, participates in its share price performance, and has the right to vote at its shareholder meetings.
Stocks may be bought or sold, usually but not always, in the context of a securities exchange, and the exchange lists companies across different industrial sectors.
