Stocks

A stock, or equity, is an asset that represents the ownership in an organization or company, and this is proportional to the number of stock shares that you own. By owning the stock of a company, this enables you to enjoy the profits of the company. As such, the better the company’s business model and success, the more the stock is likely to appreciate in value and the more you are likely to profit.

Stocks are purchased and sold prevalently on stock markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. These exchanges need to adjust to government guidelines that are intended to shield financial investors from deceitful practices.

There are many ways you can benefit from owning the stocks of a company. One of these is capital gains yet, some companies will also offer their stockholders a share of the profits which they pay out in cash. This is referred to as dividends and these payments are often made every quarter. If a company is performing well, this could increase the dividend payout.
