Stock trading refers to the process of buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on stock exchanges or via over-the-counter markets. These shares represent ownership stakes in companies. Trading them allows investors to gain exposure to the financial performance of these businesses.
