To Invest YOU!! need to first have an understanding of what a company is
What a share of stock represents
The relationships to products and services.
After this is mastered, then it is easier to understand what a stock exchange is, and how to play The Stock Game - Check out the stock screener, click change, I bet you find a company that is down 20% for the day - what do you do buy or sell?
Company:
A business formed to manufacture or supply products or services for profit. Most companies are very small and have only one location like the little restaurant, dry cleaner, flower shop, or nail salon at the local street corner.
Other companies have 10,000+ locations or sell their products and services globally.
These may be companies you see every day like NABISCO, which is owned by a company named Mondelez International β ticker symbol MDLZ that makes Oreos, or MCDONALDS MCD.
Entrepreneur: A person who has a creative or unique vision for a product and services, and then creates and launches a business. The entrepreneur typically assumes the risk and rewards for a business venture. (Shark Tank)
Sole Proprietorship: A company owned and run by one individual who receives its profits or bears its losses. A proprietorship is not separate from its owner, who is liable for the company debts.
Partnership: A company owned and managed by two or more people who share its profits or losses. A partnership is not separate from its owners, who are liable for the companyβs debts.
Why would a person want to find a partner to start a business?
Private Corporation:
Some entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, and partnerships decide to incorporate.
This means that they establish a separate legal entity.
The main reasons to incorporate are
(1) if someone decides to sue the company, they would be suing the corporation and not the individual owners (2) it is easier to raise money to grow the business
(3) for tax reasons.
The corporation issues shares of ownership (also called stock) to show who owns what percentage of the corporation. Most corporations donβt sell shares to the public.
You canβt buy shares of a private company in the stock market. Here are some examples of what are known as privately held companies such as: CARGILL, which makes agricultural products, KOCH INDUSTRIES, which is in many businesses, such as transportation fuels, building and consumer products, and fertilizers, among others., IN AND OUT BURGER, which is a fast food chain, mostly in California, AND MARS, which makes Mars Chocolate bars and other candies.
Public Corporation:
Larger companies that want to grow quickly often find it easier to sell some of their shares to the public to raise money. The stock of a public company is owned and traded by individual and institutional investors.
The stock may also be held by company founders, employees, and sometimes venture capitalists, which are people who invest in new businesses that are just getting started.
MCDONALDS Ticker symbol: MCD, VERIZON Ticker Symbol: VZ, Ticker symbol MICROSOFT (MSFT) are all examples of public companies that make products that you may us
Stock Exchange:
Once a company goes public, then the shares of that stock trade on one of the major U.S. stock exchanges (The New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and NASDAQ).
The stock exchange is like a flea market where buyers and sellers come together and the buyers try to get an item for as low a price as possible and the sellers try to sell an item for as high as possible.

When it comes to investing, few sectors capture the imagination quite like technology. Innovations in software, hardware, and everything in between have reshaped our world in recent decades. Companies in the tech sector often promise the allure of high growth, massive scalability, and societal impact.
What Makes Tech Stocks Different?
Hype and Sentiment
Thereβs often a lot of hype surrounding tech stocks, particularly those in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, or space travel. This hype can inflate stock prices beyond whatβs supported by the fundamentals, making them riskier investments.
Shorter Track Records
Many tech companies are relatively new and may not have the long financial histories that more traditional companies do. This makes it harder for investors to assess their long-term viability and adds an element of risk.
