Option Trading

The stock market is a platform where shares of publicly listed companies are bought and sold. It serves two primary functions: providing companies with capital to grow and giving investors the opportunity to share in the profits of publicly traded companies.

Key Components:

Stocks: Ownership shares in a company.

Stock Exchanges: Platforms like the NYSE, NASDAQ, and BSE where trading occurs.

Indices: Benchmarks like the S&P 500 or Nifty 50 that track the performance of groups of stocks.
