Equities Shares Stock

A stock is a financial instrument that gives the holder ownership interest in a company. Shareholders stand to share in the company's profits by way of receiving dividends. Another source of income is through capital appreciation where the holder of the stock stands to make a profit between the price s/he paid for the stock and the price at which it can be sold currently. However, the sources of income are not guaranteed as the company is not guaranteed to pay dividends especially if it makes a loss. The holder can also make a loss as the current price of the stock could be less than the price it was acquired at.
