Stock Fundamentals — What is a Stock?
A stock represents ownership in a company — but what exactly does that mean, and how does buying one share make you a part-owner? This module covers the anatomy of a stock: common versus preferred shares, market capitalization categories (large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap), the IPO process, how stock exchanges work, and how to read a basic stock quote with bid, ask, volume, and 52-week range.
