The riskiest asset class in which you can invest, stocks represent
an ownership or equity position in a corporation.
A stockholder lays claim to a proportionate share in the corporation's
assets and profits and is often paid dividends
when the company makes money. Stock share prices will rise
as the corporation grows and there is greater demand for its
stocks. The idea is to buy stock when the company is still
small, hold onto it for a number of years while the company
grows and becomes financially stronger, and then sell it for
a profit once the stock price has risen as a result of new
demand.
