Each stock represents ownership in a company listed on the public market. Investors are drawn to this because as the company thrives, the value of their stocks rises, providing them with rewards. However, a company faces the risk of its stock value diminishing during periods of slow business. Stocks are readily bought and sold, and the level of activity around a specific stock influences its value. For instance, heightened demand for investing in the company usually drives up the stock price, whereas a substantial desire to sell stocks typically leads to a decline in price.
