What are stocks
Stocks are securities that are designed to attract investment in a company. Owners of stocks, or shareholders, have an ownership interest in the company and are entitled to receive dividends. Purchasing stocks allows investors to participate in the success of a company and influence its performance through voting at shareholder meetings. Stocks are one of the most common and accessible investment instruments in the financial markets.

How is the stock
price formed
Stocks are traded based on the interaction of supply and demand in the market. When demand for a particular stock exceeds supply, its price usually increases as investors are willing to pay more for access to these assets. Conversely, when the supply of shares exceeds demand, their price may decrease as sellers may be forced to lower the price to attract buyers. Thus, the stock price is formed based on the interaction between buyers and sellers in the market.

How to trade
stocks profitably
To invest successfully in stock markets, it is important to develop a strategy based on fundamental and technical analysis of assets. This includes studying the financial performance of companies, their growth prospects, as well as analysing market dynamics and trends. It is important to make informed decisions based on objective data and not on emotions or random factors. Constantly updating and adjusting your strategy to changing market conditions is also key to ensuring profitability in your investments.
