Stocks
Stock trading involves buying and selling stocks or bonds to profit from short or long term changes in the share or bond price. Many people involved in stock trading use analytical tools to predict when the price of a particular share will increase or decrease. There are a variety of different types of stock trading. Many investors buy shares hoping they can sell them at a higher price only hours later. Other investors believe in the ‘buy and hold’ strategy where they will buy a stock hoping for a large long-term gain.
