What is Stock Trading?

Shares (also called Equities or Stocks) are a percentage of a company’s ownership. When a company is successful, their shares gain value. Otherwise, investors lose money. But ‘trading shares’ is different. It means trading CFDs for the underlying asset. Thus, you can take either a long or a short position in the market. This means you can profit even if the company shares are losing value, assuming that you took a "sell" position in the market.
