Stock+Market

Most people don't know much about the stock market. It turns out that it's actually really cool. Who knew?

The stock market is something that people invest in, or put their money into. An example of a stock market is the NASDAQ, which stands for National Association of Securities Dealer Automated Quotations. The other two big stock markets are the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) and the Dow Jones. All three of these have their headquarters in New York City. You can invest any amount of money in the stock market but the more you invest, the more money you can make. The stock market is considered gambling because you can lose money in it.



To invest in the stock market, you put an amount of money into the market of your choice. You then wait. If the market has a good day (raising stock), then your money will increase. If it has a bad day, then you will lose some money. You can put any amount of money into the stock market, anywhere from 20 dollars, to millions of dollars. You can only take your money out of the stock market at certain times, like the end of the day. You can't always get your money back if you have lost it, and the money you have at any certain time will never be 100% safe. The stock market is certainly not the only way to get money. It is just an option to consider. Some people never invest in or even consider the stock market. Others invest often and are constantly checking on how things are going. I am not saying the stock market is a good or a bad thing. I'm just providing information.
