I know most of you experts will know what stock market is but am doing this for the newbies who will stumble across this on Google asking what the Stock market is because i know as of last year sept I was on Google searching what Is a stock.
Okay I'll start with this - When people talk about the stock market, they're talking to a variety of items, as well as a number of different exchanges where equities are purchased and traded. The stock market, in broad terms, is the collection of publicly traded stocks that anybody can buy on an exchange.
And also just so you know stocks are called equities, it's a term most investors prefer to use I think its because its cooler.
So Equities are securities that give shareholders a stake in a publicly traded company. It's a real stake in the company, and if you own all of the company's shares, you have complete control over how it runs. Even if you don't own all of the shares, if you hold a large number of them, you may still influence how the company functions, as seen in the boardroom clashes depicted in movies, but well if you're purchasing through an app.. you'll never own enough to attend a board member meeting so just know that 😉
