Have you ever heard someone say, “I made money in the stock market,” and wondered what that means? Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible.
✅ What is the Stock Market?
The stock market is a place where people buy and sell shares of companies. Think of it like a big online bazar (market) – instead of fruits or clothes, shares of companies are bought and sold.
📊 What is a Share?
A share is a small piece of ownership in a company. If a company is a big cake, one share is like a slice of that cake.
👦 Simple Example:
Imagine your friend Ali starts a chai shop. He needs ₹10,000 to grow his business. So, he divides his business into 10 equal parts and sells each part (share) for ₹1,000.
You buy one share. That means you now own 10% of Ali’s chai shop. If the shop grows and becomes more profitable, your share’s value may also grow.
This is exactly how the stock market works, just on a bigger level with companies like Tata, Reliance, Infosys, and others.
