Hello all! As you may have heard, the stock market is out, but what is it? The stock market is the base of all stocks. Stocks are little parts of a buisness. Owning a share (1 stock) means owning a part of that corporation. Now, that part of the corporation can go up or down depending on the sales of that corporation. Think of it this way, a company has 1 million in profit and every share of it is worth 0.001% of that corporation. 0.001% of 1 million would be $10 per share. If you were to buy real stocks, this money would be going to a bank (Depending on where you live) which has paid the corporation money to own part of the buisness.
I hope this helps some of you understand, I hope it isn't that hard either. If you understand it, enjoy :)
