What Is Stock Trading and How Does It Work? First a stock is a share in the
ownership of a company. Stock represents a claim on the company's assets and
earnings. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company becomes
greater. Whether you say shares, equity, or stock, it all means the same thing.

Stock trading is done at an exchange, which are places where buyers and sellers
meet and decide on a price. Some exchanges are physical locations where
transactions are carried out on a trading floor. The other type of exchange is a
virtual kind, composed of a network of computers where stock trading is done
electronically.
