Start building wealth with stocks and how to get started

A stock represents ownership in a company. When you purchase stocks, you become a shareholder and have a claim on the company’s assets and earnings. Stocks are also known as equities or shares.

If the cost of a stock was $42.76 per stock and you had one thousand to invest, you could purchase a total of 23 stocks, excluding trading costs. That would make you part owner of JB Hifi. Now considering that there are 109,333,981 shares on issue. That would make you part owner 0.0000007% share ownership of JB> not much but it’s a start!
