A company ownership is divided into small and equal portions, each of which is called a Share (also referred to as a Stock). Each company will have different number of shares at different prices (based on a number of factors) and these Shares or Stocks are what we (as Individual Share Market investors) purchase and sell to make our profit. We can become a shareholder in a company by purchasing shares of that company and we can transfer our ownership rights by selling our shares to others. Since the company is an independent legal entity, it is not affected by any changes in its owners.

In mid 19th Century Europe experienced Industrial Revolution. Large Industries using heavy machineries were set up and large scale production was undertaken. For setting up these industries large amount of capital was required. It was practically impossible for a single person to set up such industry. Hence came up the concept of Joint Stock Company. In this form of organization many people came together and contributed to the capital of the Company. The shareholder were given voting rights proportionate to their contribution in Capital. The profits were also shared in the same ratio. However when the need for capital increased these companies took form of public limited companies in which the capital was invited from the public. This contribution was known as share and share certificate was issued to the shareholder.
In the form of Public Limited Companies, large amount of capital was raised from many people. However there came a problem when a person who had contributed to the capital, wanted to withdraw his share. The Share holders were spread all over and this became a problem. Also there were some people spread all over who wanted to buy the share in the company. Hence the idea of having a centralized place where selling of shares by the existing shareholders and buying of these shares by the prospective share holders would be done. Such place was known as Stock Exchange. It is also commonly known as share market as trading of shares is undertaken here.
The world's first stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium in 1460 under the rule of Philip the Good. The Antwerp exchange traded financial securities, primarily bonds.
The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 [SCRA] defines ‘Stock Exchange’ as any body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities
In India Bombay Stock Exchange popularly known as BSE was the first Stock Exhange. Infact it is the oldest one in the whole of Asia. BSE was established in 1875 by The Native Stock and Share broker Association.
You need to read a lot to know about shares. You can visit sites like www.nseindia.com, www.moneycontrol.com,
If you are a layman there is a good book by N.J.Yasaswy about Intelligent stock market investing. Buy it .

I trade Forex. 90% of the people that trade Forex lose all their money. Anyone suggesting Forex as an easy way to save money is only looking to get your money.
Be very careful with the answers you get in this forum. Many people don't know what they're talking about and others just want to rip you off.
