The stock market is a global marketplace where companies raise capital by issuing shares to the public. Stock quotes provide an indication of a company's current financial situation, allowing investors to make informed decisions about their investments.
- Stock quotes are typically displayed on stock exchanges and online trading platforms, such as Yahoo Finance or Google Finance.
- The price of a stock is determined by supply and demand in the market. When many investors buy a stock, its price tends to rise, while low prices attract more buyers.
- Investors can purchase stocks through various channels, including brokerages, online trading platforms, and investment apps.
