🔹 What is Stock Market?
The Stock Market is a platform where companies sell their shares (a part of ownership) to the public, and investors buy them to become partners in the company.
👉 In simple words –
-
If you buy a company’s share, you become the owner of a small part of that company.
-
As the company’s profit and value increase, the price of your share also increases.
📍 Example:
If you buy a share at ₹100 and later its value becomes ₹150, then you make a profit of ₹50.
This is how you can explain the stock market in simple words to your audience. Along with this, you should also add relevant stock market video clips while explaining (from platforms like Canva, Pixabay, Pexels) so that the audience finds it genuine and interesting. These sites provide copyright-free footage.
