What is the Stock Market?

[Harryden]

A stock market is a place where buyers and sellers trade company stock for a set price. In the financial world, “stock” simply means a supply of money a company has raised from individuals or other organizations. If you buy stock, then you own a part of a company. This part is called a “share.” People who own stock are referred to as "shareholders" or "stockholders."
