what is stock in share market

Some portion of the company sold to public is called stock. If a company has 200,000 stocks outstanding means the company has been divided into 200,000 units and different people own some units.

This entitles you to vote at the shareholders' meeting and allows you to receive any profits that the company allocates to its owners. These profits are referred as dividends.
