Stocks are securities providing its owner/shareholder a certain right to receive a part of the profit of the company (e.g. dividends) and to participate in company’s management. Stocks are suitable for investors who are willing to assume a higher financial risk.
Investing in stocks can serve as a long-term position to derive income from dividends disbursed by the company as well as a short-term investment to derive income from the fluctuations in stock prices.
