🏢 What Is a Stock?

SIMULATION — NOT REAL MONEY. Everything in this lab uses fictional companies and pretend prices so you can learn safely.

A company is a group of people working together to make a product or service. A stock (also called a share) is a tiny slice of ownership in a company. Owning one share of Rocket Labs Co. means you own a very small part of it.

A stock exchange is a marketplace where buyers and sellers trade shares. It has opening and closing hours, like a shop.
