Description
Stock Market: A Simplified Explanation Imagine a marketplace where people buy and sell pieces of companies. That's essentially what a stock market is. These "pieces" are called stocks or shares. When you buy a stock, you're essentially becoming a part-owner of that company. The value of a stock can go up or down depending on how well the company performs. Stock markets are crucial for businesses to raise money and for investors to make profits. They're also a barometer of the overall economic health of a country.
