Answer 3

A stock is a little piece of a big company. Big companies need a lot of money to invest - some they borrow from banks and some they get from the stock market by issuing stock certificates.

Buy the stock and the company "owes you" but you cannot ask your money from the company, you can only get your money back by selling your stocks.

If there are a lot of people who are buying, the price goes up. If there are a lot of people who are selling, the price goes down.

Theoretically, the price will go up if the company is doing well and making lots of profits. But in reality, nobody really knows so they trade their stocks on rumors. And rumors can be based on truth or not.
