Stock Market

The stock market is a part of the capital markets where shares of publicly traded companies are bought and sold. When you buy stocks, you're purchasing a small ownership stake in a company. The prices of these stocks fluctuate based on supply and demand, company performance, and broader economic factors. Investors aim to buy low and sell high, hoping to make a profit. The stock market serves as an essential platform for companies to raise funds to grow their businesses while providing investors with opportunities to build wealth over time.
