Stock Trading

Stock trading involves buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies with the goal of making a profit. It plays a crucial role in the financial markets, allowing individuals and institutions to invest in companies and potentially earn returns based on the companies’ performance.

 

What is Stock Trading?

At its core, stock trading is the process of buying and selling shares, which represent ownership in a company. When you purchase a share of a company, you become a partial owner, entitled to a portion of its assets and profits. Stock prices fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including the company’s financial performance, market conditions, and investor sentiment.
