Stock Trading
And Investing
Stocks are ownership certificates of a specific company. When you own a stock,
its corresponding value represents your share or partial ownership of the company.
Stocks let you own a piece of a company's future. They're available for a wide variety of industries-so you can tap
into your knowledge of specific businesses, or help you to diversify your portfolio.
