THE STOCK EXCHANGE
Stock is a piece of ownership of a company. Ownership of such a portion gives the holder the right to receive part of the company’s profits and to participate in its management as if you own enough stock you also have some decision-making power within the company.
When a company needs to acquire extra money to help grow the business, they can sell some or all of the ownership of the company in the form of stocks. So if you were to buy 100% of a company's stock, you would own the whole company.
Buying stock is a very popular form of investing.
Share = Stocks
Bond
It is a document issued by a government or a company
borrowing money from the public, stating the existence of a debt and the amount owing to the holder who must show this document in order to obtain
repayment of the loan.
So it is a kind of formal contract to repay borrowed money with
interest at fixed intervals.
The main DIFFERENCE between bonds and stocks is that STOCKHOLDERS are owners of the
company they are invested in, whereas BONDHOLDERS are only lenders. Another
difference is that bonds usually have a maturity date, after which the bond is cancelled, whereas
stocks may be outstanding indefinitely.
Terminiology related to BONDS:
The issuer is the entity (company or govt.) who borrows an amount of money and pays the interest. The principal of a bond is the amount that the issuer borrows which must be repaid to the lender.The coupon is the interest that the issuer must pay. The maturity is the date that the issuer must return the principal. The indenture is the contract that states all of the terms of the bond.

THE GREAT QUESTION: HOW DO I KNOW WHICH STOCK TO BUY?
Stocks recommended on TV, experts, newspapers, experts?
Stocks from big, stable and successful companies?
Checking the technical indicators?
Choosing randomly?
Based on rumors?
SEVERAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER:
How long can you wait?How much risk can you afford?
How many stocks can you afford?
Do you want to be conservative? Keep your risk low buy buying some blue-chip stocks like GE and hold them for a few years. The downside is that conservative stocks usually don't gain value very quickly. Ensure and Increase Your Safety with
Diversification. The more different stocks you purchase, the more safe you will be in case one stock drops significantly. Of course,
you will probably also make less money because some stocks will go up and some will go down.
Do you like some risk? Then try some more volatile stocks you have a chance at making a larger and faster gain.

One of the most popular methods for helping predict a stock's price, at least in the
short term, is called Technical Analysis. This method involves
looking for patterns or indicators in stock prices,
volumes, and many others, over time. Obviously nobody
can predict the future but this method can be effective in
many cases because human beings are somewhat
predictable.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Many traders rely on experts' opinions about companies and future stock prices. Are they
always correct? Of course not. Nobody can predict what will
happen in the future. They can, however, make educated guesses based on past performances and
future prospects for the companies and industries they follow.
ANALYSTS RECOMMENDATIONS
Fear and greed are the two of the strongest human emotions
that affect the market. For example, it is easy to get
caught in the trap of selling a stock prematurely because it dipped temporarily and fear
set in. On the other hand, it is also easy to miss out on a respectable gain because
greed was telling you to hold out for more, and then the stock drops back down.
HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY
Although they sound negative (and they may be, for instance when they are signs of
corruptions and the signal that there are more negative announcements to come),
these are often good news for the company’s stock price because expenses will be
reduced significantly and quickly. This should help increase earnings right away. It is not
always a major warning sign; it could just be a reaction to a slower economy. It is one of
the quickest ways a company can cut expenses if sales have not been meeting expectations. Drastic actions may help
companies in the long run.
