IntroductionYou’ve probably heard the term "stock market" on the news or social media, but what exactly is it? Simply put, the stock market is a place where people buy and sell ownership in companies, called shares or stocks. It’s one of the most powerful tools for building wealth, and learning how it works is your first step toward financial freedom. The Stock Market Explained in Simple Words 📉📈Think of the stock market as a giant supermarket—but instead of groceries, you're buying and selling parts of real businesses. These parts are called “shares,” and when you buy one, you become a part-owner of that company. Why Do Companies Sell Shares? 🏢Companies sell shares to raise money for growth, research, new projects, or expansion. In return, they allow people like you to become investors and share in the profits (or losses). How Does It Work? 🔄People buy and sell shares through stock exchanges (like NSE or BSE in India) using brokers or trading apps. The price of a stock changes every second, depending on supply and demand. Who Can Invest in the Stock Market? 🧍♂️🧍♀️Anyone with a PAN card, a bank account, and a trading account can start investing. Whether you're a student, professional, or homemaker, the stock market is open to all. Is It Safe? What Are the Risks? ⚠️Like anything in life, there are risks. Stock prices can go up or down. But with proper education and strategy, you can reduce risks and invest smartly.
