The Stock exchange is a place where companies sell part of there company to the public and in return, give a dividend. You can take over companies if you own 50% plus 1 share of that company. Each company has its own symbol. Stock investors use these symbols when dealing with stock. for example, Microsoft Corp. is MSFT. you can use any finance website to look up symbols of any company you want. yahoo finance is a good website to use. http://finance.yahoo.com is the URL. You will need to open an account with a site like http://www.tdameritrade.com/ The site I listed below is a great site for new investors.

In finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British English, the usage of the word share alone to refer solely to stocks is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself.
In simple Words, a share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a company or can be purchased from the stock market.

The stock market is where there is an orderly transfer of stocks between buyers and sellers. This orderliness is accomplished by have stock exchanges such as the New York, London, and Tokyo stock exchanges. Companies register to have their stock sold on a certain exchange. Their stock represents an ownership interest in that company. If you want to buy or sell a stock you contact a stock broker who contacts the appropriate exchange and buys stock for you or sells your stock for you. Brokers can be in an office or on line.

shares are a percentage of the company your purchase... they can increase/decrease very quickly...so only invest after you have done a lot more research...
