So what are stocks, and what is the stock market?

A stock is an investment that represents ownership of shares a person has in a company. If you buy a company's stock, you are purchasing a piece of the organization, which is a "Share." When you start buying stocks, you become an investor who has invested funds into a company because you believe the company will go up in value. If the company increases in value over a period, its stocks will also increase, which means the value of your stock will be better than when you bought it.

The stock market, on the other hand, is a place where company shares are traded. These companies have to be publicly listed firms. Buyers and sellers of stocks meet in the stock market to trade stocks. Now you are going to become an investor in stocks; you will buy and sell shares in the stock market as you decide on the companies you want to place your investment funds.

Why stocks? Why should you become an investor?

You should invest in stocks because it offers a very high ROI (Return on investment), and this can happen over the most prolonged period. No other investment platform provides the kind of returns you get from the stock market, long term. Now the emphasis here is "Long term" because for you to get the dividends of your investments in the stock market, you have to be patient.

However, those who give their stocks time to perform in the market testify of the high returns they got. More importantly, investing in stocks is the best form of passive income you can get as you wouldn't have to work at the company you invest in, all you have to do is watch your stocks increase in value.

In addition to these fundamental ideas, you should know that the stock market is volatile, which means that it is not always sunshine and rainbows there. Sometimes the market rises and falls, yet it remains the best bet for investment because, despite its volatile nature, investors still make a lot of money in peak seasons. Simply monitor the market closely, and you will thrive.

Next, you will need to set a budget for your investment because, as a new investor, you may wonder, "How much is required to start?" "How much should I invest in getting high yields?" The amount of money you will need is determined by the number of shares you wish to buy. The value of the stock also matters, and share prices can start from a few dollars to thousands.
