Stocks, or shares of a company also known as company'sequity, represent ownership equity in the firm, which give shareholders voting rights as well as a residual claim on corporate earnings in the form of capital gains and dividends.

Stock markets are where individual and institutional investors come together to buy and sell shares in a public venue. Nowadays these exchanges exist as electronic marketplaces.
Share prices are set by supply and demand in the market as buyers and sellers place orders. Order flow and bid-ask spreads are often maintained by specialists or market makers to ensure an orderly and fair market.

A stock or share is a financial instrument that represents ownership in a company or corporation and represents a proportionate claim on its assets (what it owns) and earnings (what it generates in profits).


Stock ownership implies that the shareholder owns a slice of the company equal to the number of shares held as a proportion of the company's total outstanding shares. For instance, an individual or entity that owns 100,000 shares of a company with one million outstanding shares would have a 10% ownership stake in it. Most companies have outstanding shares that run into the millions .

The "ownership" is the key to the stocks. Some people do not know that stocks are shares of the corporation's ownership. When you buy a stock you become a stockholder of the company. That is the big difference with crypto coin. You buy with nothing more than the ownership of the crypto coin that is dependent on the market price.

To trade in the forex market, any trader needs a broker. Broker can be good or bad. By selecting a good broker, a trader can easily take decision whether he has to trade or not. Good brokers are generally are those, who provides low spreads and high leverage than others. Withdrawn process should be easy.
Brokers help traders to gain profit and reduce the risk of losses. A broker can be a guideline for any trader. Choosing a good broker is not an easy task. I am trading with Forex4you, which is the best broker for me. They provide low spreads starts from 0.1 pips and their maximum leverage is 1:1000. They provide 24 X 5 customer service to the traders. So for me, they are the best broker.

The shares translate to the proportionate claims of the shareholders in a company. This also represents the percentage claim by the shareholders from the company's capital gains. Shares is a very profitable investment when you can analyse the market value of the company. It's very important to take note of this

Stocks is a share that you buy from the stock exchange market. It automatically makes you own part of the company you bought stocks from. The amount of stocks bought is proportionate to shares you hold in the company.
It's very important to seek the services of a broker to guide you through the stock market.

Yeah before investing you have to take note of the share price so that you will buy at the right time and even possibly get your share certificate too as a evidence that you have invested in that particular company ,it's best to note all that

I have invested in the stock market. If you want to invest in the stock market you need to know a couple of things. For example, you need to know about the true worth of the company and its market performance before you buy shares of that company. You will also have to focus on buying IPO shares, or the primary shares.

What about partnership shares ? All you've said about its true about shares and one needs to be very careful when opting to sign up to any shares because some shares don't have a guarantee especially the private sector ones. But the public sectors are always a guarantee you will get share are you will sign up in the court of law.

I once nursed the ambition of having some shares with the stock market. But to be factual, I don't the fact that it is run solely by government and its activities are affected by the government polices. Though I have met a broker some years back assuring me of playing safe but I am very sure anything can happen when it comes to investing in shares and stock.

Shares needs a lot of analysis and findings before you dive into it. It's true that you have to study the company's performance history and its reliability before you buy shares from them. There are stocks experts or brokers who will help you analyse stock. My elder brother owns a magazine that gives incisive analysis on the stock market and it you have a grasp of such magazine , you will make the right choice.
