What are Stocks?
Companies raise capital through stock investments to run their operations. Stocks are sold to investors as a fractional share of ownership, making them part owners of the company. Equities are stocks that are owned, and equity is a term that describes ownership. A company can also raise capital by issuing bonds, although you will only become a creditor, not a shareholder.
Stocks give you an ownership stake in a company, but stock ownership does not give you a say in how the company operates. Stock ownership entails trusting the leaders of a company to run it as they see fit.
Instruments Traded
How to trade Stocks with Option2Trade?
Trading CFDs allows you to speculate on the price movements of a financial instrument without owning the underlying asset. You will make money if the market price of the asset moves in the same direction as your CFD trade.
- When trading CFDs, there are two prices to watch: the “Buy” price and the “Sell” price. Your decision will be based on whether you think the price will rise or fall.
Long position
When a trader places a BUY order, they are taking a long position. In this case, the trader expects that the asset value will rise over time. The trader will buy at a low price and sell at a higher price.
Short position
A short position happens when the trader believes the asset will decrease in value and selects a SELL position.
