Theory
Stocks
Stocks are financial securities that represent ownership in a company. When you buy a stock, you are essentially buying a small piece of the company. Your investment in the stock will increase or decrease in value based on how the company performs. Investing in stocks can be an effective way to grow your wealth over time. However, it is important to be mindful of the risks involved. Stock prices can be volatile and can fluctuate rapidly based on a variety of factors, including the performance of the overall market, changes in interest rates, and company-specific news.
- Investment Value: The value of your stock investment fluctuates based on company performance.
- Wealth Growth: Investing in stocks can effectively grow wealth over time.
- Risks Involved:
- Volatility: Stock prices can fluctuate rapidly.
- Market Factors: Influenced by overall market performance, interest rates, and company-specific news.
- Research and Guidance:
- Importance of research and understanding risks before investing.
- Consider working with a financial advisor or investment professional.
- Potential for High Returns:
- Historically, stocks have outperformed bonds and cash over the long term.

How does it work
- Company Performance and Stock Value:
- The value of a stock investment increases or decreases based on the company's performance and profitability.
- Better performance often leads to higher stock prices, while poor performance can cause stock prices to drop.
- Stock Market Trading:
- Stocks are bought and sold on stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ.
- Investors place orders to buy or sell stocks through brokers who execute these trades on the exchanges.
How is a stock price set?
1. Supply and Demand
- When more people want to buy a stock than sell it (high demand, low supply), the price goes up.
- When more people want to sell a stock than buy it (low demand, high supply), the price goes down.
