Begin With The Basics
-
The U.S. stock market is made up of several markets such as NASDAQ the New York Stock Exchange, and the American Stock Exchange.
Each of those markets oversees the buying and selling of stocks for hundreds – sometimes thousands – of companies. Stocks represent a share of ownership in a company. If the companies are listed on the market, shares are available to buy. The more stocks you own, the more of the company you own.

Buy low, Sell High

a bull market is a long-term upward trend in a stock. A bear market is a long-term downward trend.
The tricky part is picking a stock that's low but heading higher. It's a risk game is many ways.
