How Do I Win or Lose with a Stock?
When you invest in a stock (like a small piece of a company), your profit or loss depends on two main things:
- The price at which you buy it.
- The price at which you sell it.
If you sell it for more than you bought it for, you've won! If you sell it for less, you've lost. It's that simple. Let's see it with an interactive example.
