Stocks: Building Wealth Through Ownership

Overview:
Stocks represent ownership in a company. When you buy shares, you become a shareholder — entitled to a portion of that company’s profits (dividends) and growth.

Why It Matters:
Investing in stocks is one of the most popular ways to build long-term wealth. Over time, well-managed companies grow in value, and so do their stock prices.

Key Benefits:

• Potential for high returns

• Partial ownership of global companies

• Liquidity (easy to buy/sell)

Risks:

• Price volatility

• Market crashes

• Company-specific issues
