- The Basics Of The Stock Market
Stocks are the basic building block of the stock market. A stock represents partial ownership of a company - the smallest share possible. Companys issues stocks to raise capital and investors who buy stock are actually buying a portion of the company. Ownership, even a small share, gives investors rights to a say in how the company is run and a share in the profits (if any). While stocks give owners certain rights, they do not carry obligation in case the company defaults or faces a lawsuit. Worse comes to worse, the stock becomes worth absolutely nothing but thats where the liability ends - investors will never actually owe money if the company goes bankrupt.
