Stock(or share) is a type of security that represents one ownership in a company.When a person is buying stock he/she is buying a small piece of company.The amount of piece owned by a particular shareholder depends upon the amount of shares owned by the shareholder relative to the amount of shares outstanding.

A company issues stock when it want to raise money for growing its business and by owing a particular share a person is participating in company’s growth and will make money through the growth without even putting in work.

1.    Primary market

2.    Secondary market

1 Primary market : A primary market is the market where the issuance of new security happens.When a company sell new stock and bond for the first time .It helps the company to raise money directly.

2 Secondary market : A secondary market is the market where the security is sell/brought between investors.Here the securities are exchanged which are previously issued.It helps in providing liquidity to the investors as they can easily buy or sell security they own
