How Stocks Work
Stocks are one of the most popular and well-known financial instruments. In short, you can profit from the increases in a company’s value over time, which in turn raises the value of company stocks.
As an investor, you may hold stocks for long periods to maximize the long-term movements of equity and the stock market or trade them daily (Intraday trading) to profit from their daily fluctuations.

💡What Are Shares?
Each issued share has a so-called nominal value. If a physical document is produced, this value is displayed on the front of the certificate.
It is calculated with a simple formula:
The total size of the authorized capital of a company
The number of papers(shares) issued
The number of papers(shares) issued
Usually, it equals to or is slightly higher than the nominal value. Additionally, depending on the corporate performance, which in turn affects the interest of the investors, the market price will be determined.
