Individual investors, companies, and institutional investors buy and sell stocks from companies on the stock market exchanges. Stocks represent an ownership interest in a business that has gone public. When someone buys a stock, they are purchasing part of the business selling the stock. This means they receive a portion of the company’s success. Depending on whether this is common or preferred stock, owners may also get voting rights at corporate meetings and have a say in such things as the election of the members of the board of directors.
The stock market functions through a network of exchanges, including the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. Companies list their shares on these networks via an initial public offering (IPO) and investors can purchase certain shares, thereby providing companies with capital. Investors can buy and sell these stocks among themselves on the stock market exchange, as well. However, the prices of these stocks are not set by the company after the IPO. Rather, prices adhere to the principles of supply and demand.
