What are Stocks?

Stocks are your claims or assets in a company. It is your share in the business that you hold ownership. Continuously, as you acquire more stock, you are also earning an increase in your overall ownership stake. Equity, stock, and shares are all the same so you should be mistaken of them.

What is stock trading?

Before you even delve into trading stocks, you should know first what it is. Generally, stock trading is selling a stock agreed by company stakeholders. Once the stock is sold, it only means that you hold a share of it because you are a shareholder of the company. Stock ownership is your passes in getting your earnings back. This means that when you have a bigger share in the company, you will also receive greater earnings out of the selling price.

Types of Stock Trading

  • Offline Trading

Currently, a greater number of stocks are traded in the form of exchanges. Once a stock is on the exchange, both sellers and buyers can name their price on the meeting. As a stockholder, you have the right to receive your claims of the earnings of the company. During the 19th century, materializing certificates is your proof that you are indeed a stockholder. The certificate has a trademark of the company that serves as a document of proof. You can use the certificate to trade your share in any way you want.

  • Semi-online Trading

Stock trading can also be done through semi-online trading. In this way, you can call directly your prospective client or buyer. As easy as making a call, you can proceed with the transaction.

  • Complete Online

As advanced technologies take into action, stock trading can now be processed online. Look for any potential buyer or seller online that you can trust and you are on the go.
