What are Stocks?
The stock market is a marketplace for the trading of stocks or shares, when you buy a stock, you're buying a small piece or a share of a company and that companys future.
Stocks are the most common type of security, with more than 75,000 stocks available today. There are two types of stock: common and preferred; the majority of all stock sold is issued in this form.
Common stockholders are owners who can vote on stock splits, company mergers and director elections, but they do not get to vote on the payment of cash or stock dividends.
Preferred stocks are similar to bonds in structure, but they trade on the stock exchange like common stocks. Preferred stock is called this because it has a preference over common stock with respect to dividends and if the company has to liquidate its assets due to bankruptcy. However, unlike common stockholders, preferred stockholders do not get a vote.
