Stock market as a investment

According to Wikipedia stock market, equity market, or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks (also called shares), which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange, as well as stock that is only traded privately, such as shares of private companies which are sold to investors through equity crowdfunding platforms. Investment in the stock market is most often done via stockbrokerages and electronic trading platforms. Investment is usually made with an investment strategy in mind.

Many investors wonder whether they should invest in stocks. Before deciding to invest, it's important to have an accurate understanding of stocks and trading rather than blindly accepting common myths. Here are five of those myths and the truth behind them.

Investing is not the same as gambling because investing increases the overall wealth of an economy, while gambling merely takes money from a loser and gives it to a winner.

Having a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous in investing; successful investors carefully research their investments or use the services of a trusted advisor.

An investor who lacks the time to do extensive research should consider employing the services of an advisor.

The stock investment gives the best returns when you invest for the long term.
