FAQS Frequently Asked Questions

A stock, also known as equity, is a security that represents the ownership of a fraction of the issuing corporation. Units of stock are called "shares" which entitles the owner to a proportion of the corporation's assets and profits equal to how much stock they own.

Stocks are bought and sold predominantly on stock exchanges and are the foundation of many individual investors' portfolios. Stock trades have to conform to government regulations meant to protect investors from fraudulent practices.

Companies sell stock to raise money to fund their business operations. Buying shares of stock gives you partial ownership of a company and lets you participate in its gains (and the losses). Some stocks also pay dividends, which are small regular payments of companies’ profits.

Because there are no guaranteed returns and individual companies may go out of business, stocks come with greater risk than some other investments.

Many stocks pay dividends, for example. Instead of buying and selling stocks, dividend investors hold stocks and profit from the dividend income.

In the most straightforward sense, investing works when you buy an asset at a low price and sell it at a higher price. This kind of return on your investment is called a capital gain. Earning returns by selling assets for a profit—or realizing your capital gains—is one way to make money investing.

When an investment gains in value between when you buy it and you sell it, it’s known as appreciation.

• A share of stock can appreciate when a company creates successful products and services that boost sales, increases the company’s revenues and raises the stock’s value on the market.
• A home or condo might appreciate in value because you renovated the property, or because the neighborhood became more desirable for young families with kids.

In addition to profits from capital gains and appreciation, investing works when you buy and hold assets that generate income. Instead of realizing capital gains by selling an asset, the goal of income investing is to buy assets that generate cash flow over time and hold on to them without selling.

You can calculate your investment returns, you just need the original cost of each investment and its current value.
