What is a Stock or Share?
A
stock or Share can be simply defined as a share or ownership into a business
which has been formed under a legal registered company.
It
is an ownership part. For example ABC Industries Ltd has 1 lakh equity
shares. Suppose Mr.A owns this shares
are the owner of the company and so its profit and loss.
A
share is also known as ‘equity’, ‘stock’, ‘scrip’, ‘counter’ also in stock
market parlance.
What is a Stock Exchange?
A
stock exchange or Share Market is nothing but a place or platform where
companies’ shares are listed (listed means –the company has completed formality
so that everyday buy and sale can be allowed of its shares on the stock
exchange)
In
India there are mainly 2 stock exchanges. One is NSE and another is BSE.
Notably BSE is world’s 2nd oldest and Asia’s oldest stock exchange.
