- A stock (share) is a unit of ownership in a company. Owning stock gives you a claim on part of the company’s assets and earnings and may give voting rights; its price rises and falls with supply and demand and company performance.
- Stocks are first sold in the primary market (e.g., an IPO). After that they trade in the secondary market on stock exchanges (e.g., NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE) or over-the-counter (OTC). Retail investors buy and sell stocks through brokerage accounts (online brokers, full‑service brokers), while institutions trade on exchanges, electronic trading venues, or dark pools.
