What are Stocks?

Shares represent a share of ownership in a company. When you buy stock in a company, you become one of its shareholders, which means you can benefit from its growth and financial success.

Example:

If you buy Apple (AAPL) stock, you are investing in the company and can make money if its stock price goes up or if the company pays dividends.

Shares are traded on regulated markets such as:

📈 NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) - Where giants like Amazon and Tesla are listed.

📉 NASDAQ - Home to tech companies like Google and Microsoft.

🌍 London Stock Exchange, Tokyo and more - Global markets with thousands of opportunities.

How do the stocks work?

When you invest in stocks, you can make money in two ways:

✔ Capital gains: If you buy a stock at $100 and its price rises to $150, you earn $50 per share.

✔ Dividends: Some companies distribute periodic earnings to their shareholders.

📊 Investment example:

If you had invested $1,000 in Amazon in 2010, today your investment would be worth more than $20,000. 🚀
