What Are Stocks and ETFs?

Stocks are a type of security that represents ownership in a company. When you buy stocks, you're essentially buying a small piece of that company. ETFs, or Exchange-Traded Funds, are similar but trade on an exchange like stocks, allowing for more flexibility and liquidity.
