What is the Stock Market? 

The stock market is an exchange where stockbrokers and traders can buy and sell shares of a publicly listed company.

The stock market serves two purposes. The first purpose is to provide companies with capital and the second purpose is to give those who purchase shares the opportunity to profit from buying them at a lower price and selling at a higher price and in some cases earn dividends (a given amount of money per share of stock someone owns).

That’s not to say you are guaranteed to make money if you were to invest in the stock market.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you might get back less than you invested. You should only consider these products if you are willing to take some risk with your capital.

But judging from past results investing in the stock market is more than likely to improve your financial wealth in the long run.

We will consider whether such products are suitable for you before recommending such an investment.
