Stocks:
- Stocks are pieces of paper indicating that you own a part of a company and maybe priced as low as only a few cents per share.
- Stocks can be bought or sold by individuals. You can look up the price of a stock in a business in a newspaper or on the Internet.
- Before on-line trading (buying on the Internet) became fashionable the only way to purchase stocks was to contact a stock broker, who charged a commission each time you buy or sell a stock.
- Even if you buy stocks on the Internet you still pay a commission each time you buy and sell them, however the commission rate has gone down considerably since on-line trading has come about.
