Stock market

You don’t have to officially become an “investor” to invest in the stock market — for the most part, it’s open to anyone. And after you purchase your first investment, you’ll join the ranks of investors around the world who are using the stock market to build long-term wealth. But before you do this, it’s critical to learn what the stock market is, how it works and a few cintroductory investment strategies.x
