Introduction to Investing in Stocks

When you invest in a stock, you become one of the owners of a corporation. Stocks represent ownership shares, also known as equity shares. Whether you make or lose money on a stock depends on the success or failure of the company, which type of stock you own, what’s going on in the stock market overall, and other factors. Gerri Walsh, Senior Vice President of Investor Education at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), discusses different types of stocks and how to assess whether a given stock is right for you.
