Stock Market. Loading the player... What is the 'Stock Market'. The stock market refers to the collection of markets and exchanges where the issuing and trading of equities (stocks of publicly held companies), bonds and other sorts of securities takes place, either through formal exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Stocks have the highest long-run return of all investment groups. Putting money in the stock market can seem intimidating at first, especially if you are new to investing. After all, the stock market is unpredictable and stocks sometime lose money. However, stocks have many advantages over other investments.
