What is the stock market?
The stock market, also known as the equity market, is an organized and regulated marketplace where stocks (shares of ownership) of publicly traded companies are bought and sold. It provides a platform for companies to raise capital through the issuance of stocks and for investors to buy and sell these stocks, thereby allowing them to participate in the company’s success and potentially earn a profit. The value of the stocks in the market fluctuates daily based on various factors such as the company’s financial performance, economic conditions, and global events. The stock market is an essential component of the economy and plays a crucial role in wealth creation and capital formation.
