All About Stocks

All About Stocks By: Dr. John E. Ware, I 

Hey Kids, today we are going to learn all about stocks! Stocks are pieces of ownership in a company that allow you to get a share of the profits and losses that the company makes. When people talk about investing, stocks are often one of the first things they mention. But why? 

Well, owning stocks can be a great way to make money. Companies issue stocks when they want to raise money for new products, services, or expansions. When you buy a share of stock, you get a portion of the profits and losses that the company makes. So, if the company makes money, then so do you!

Another great thing about stocks is that they’re really easy to buy and sell, so you can start with small investments and work your way up over time. Plus, there are lots of resources available to help you learn how to invest in stocks, so you don’t have to worry about making mistakes.

It’s important to remember though that stocks can be risky. The value of stocks can go up and down, which means you never know if you’ll make money or lose money. That’s why it’s important to do your research and understand what you are investing in, so that you can make an informed decision.
