What is it at all?
The stock market is a space where you can buy or sell shares in companies (shares), as well as other securities. It works according to certain rules and is most often available through brokers - special intermediaries.
Why go there?
When you buy a promotion, you become a co -owner of the company. If the company is developing successfully, its cost is growing. This is reflected in the price of the action. In addition, some companies pay part of the profit to their owners - in the form of dividends.
What can you buy?
- Stock - Share of specific companies. For example, technological, industrial, pharmaceutical.
- Exchange funds (ETF) - Ready -made sets of shares or other assets. It's like a box of sweets: you buy a whole set at once, and not one "candy".
- Index funds - a variety of ETF, which repeat the behavior of a certain index (for example, an index of 500 of the largest companies in the United States).
