What are Stocks
Imagine that you own a business. If you were to divide that business up into small pieces and sell those pieces, you would essentially have issued stock. Quite simply, stock is ownership in a company.
The money you raise from selling those "pieces" of your business can be used to build new plants and facilities, pay down debt, or acquire another company.
