Buying your own stock is the process of acquiring shares in a company that you believe will increase in value over time. When you buy stock, you are essentially becoming a part-owner of that company and are entitled to a portion of its profits. There are many reasons to buy stock, including the potential for capital appreciation, dividends, and voting rights.
There are many different ways to buy stock, but the most common is through a stockbroker. A stockbroker is a licensed professional who can help you buy and sell stocks on the stock market. You can also buy stock directly from a company through a direct stock purchase plan (DSPP).
