Stock Market

The stock market is a collection of markets and exchanges where activities such as buying, selling, and issuing shares of publicly traded companies take place. It provides a platform for investors to trade ownership in businesses through stocks, which represent a claim on the company's assets and earnings. The stock market is an essential component of the economy, allowing companies to raise capital by attracting investors, while also offering individuals the opportunity to invest in those companies. Prices of shares are determined by supply and demand dynamics, reflecting the overall performance of the company and broader economic factors. The stock market plays a critical role in wealth generation and investment strategies for individuals and institutions.
