What is Stock Trading?

Stock trading, also known as equity trading or stock exchange trading, is the buying and selling of securities like stocks, bonds, and options on stock exchanges.

• Buying a share of a company's ownership means becoming a part-owner of that company.
• Selling a share of a company's ownership means profiting from it by getting the cash.
• Stocks can be traded at any time, but they tend to fluctuate in value over time due to various market and economic factors.
