Stock trading

Stock Trading: An Overview

Stock trading involves buying and selling shares in publicly traded companies. This typically occurs on stock exchanges.

When people buying shares of a company, they effectively become a small part-owner of that company and have some claim on its assets and earnings, in the form of dividends and/or capital appreciation.

The value of the shares depends on some factors, including:

• The company’s financial performance
• The company’s outlook
• The company’s overall market conditions
• The company’s investor sentiment
