Investing in the stock market can seem intimidating at first, but breaking it down into simple concepts can make it much easier to get started. The stock market is a collection of markets where shares of ownership in companies, known as stocks, are bought and sold. It serves as a platform that connects investors (people or institutions) with companies that need funding. When a company wants to raise money to expand, innovate, pay off debt, or fund other projects, it can issue stocks through a process called an Initial Public Offering (IPO). When you buy a stock, you’re essentially buying a small ownership stake in that company. As an owner, you can benefit if the company does well and its stock price rises or if it pays dividends.
