STOCKS

Stocks represent ownership in a corporation and can yield significant financial returns. Common stock gives shareholders voting rights and dividends, while preferred stock offers a higher claim on assets but lacks voting power. Investing in stocks can lead to quick profits, especially with successful companies like Apple and Google, but it also carries risks, including the potential for substantial losses. Companies benefit by raising capital through stock offerings. This guide provides insights into buying stocks and encourages critical thinking about investment strategies.
