The stock market is a platform where individuals and organisations can buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. By purchasing stocks, investors can own a portion of the company and participate in its success through the appreciation of the stock price and the receipt of dividends.

Companies, on the other hand, can raise capital by selling a portion of their ownership through an initial public offering (IPO) or by issuing additional stocks for sale on the market.

The stock market plays a vital role in the economy by providing companies with access to capital and giving investors the opportunity to earn returns on their investments.
