What are Stocks?
Stocks, also known as shares or equities, represent ownership in a company. When you
purchase a stock, you acquire a portion of that company and become entitled to a
share of its profits, usually in the form of dividends, as well as potential capital
appreciation if the stock price rises. Examples include Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA),
and Microsoft (MSFT).
Key Features of Stock Trading
Stock trading allows investors to participate in the growth and success of
individual companies. Stock prices are influenced by company performance, industry
trends, economic data, market sentiment, and global events. Trading can be conducted
through traditional exchanges or via derivatives like CFDs, enabling both short-term
speculation and long-term investment.
