Investing in Stocks

In case you didn't know about stocks, here is what they are and a general idea on how to invest in them. Stocks are not just simply numbers that go up and down (although they do), they are a reflection of a companies value divided by the number of shares outstanding. So this means that if a company is totally failing, then the stock price will go down, where as if it is releasing a new product, then the stock price will most likely go up. So you want to buy a stock right before the stock price goes up. This is just some basic stock investing information, I'll post more basic information about them tomorrow.
