Dividends are subject to adjustment. A company’s worth is essentially decreased by the dividend amount when it distributes it to its shareholders. When the market opens on the ex-dividend date—the day the company’s stock begins trading without the value of the dividend—the share price decreases to reflect this. If you own dividend-paying stock, the dividend’s after-tax amount will be credited to you on the ex-dividend date.

What are Stocks?

A stock represents a unit of ownership in a company. When you own a stock or a share, you own a portion of that company.
For instance, if a company issues 10,000 shares and you buy 100, you own 1% of that company. If the company performs well, its stock price will rise; if it performs poorly, the stock price will fall.

Where Are Stocks Traded?

Stocks are traded on stock exchanges, which provide a safe and regulated environment for trading equities and ensure that listed companies adhere to strict corporate governance rules.

Trading stocks on exchanges offers a safe and regulated environment for investors, ensuring compliance with corporate governance standards.

How Does Stock Trading Work?

Stock trading involves buying or selling shares of ownership in companies listed on exchanges like the ASX or NASDAQ. Stocks are generally traded without leverage on a stock exchange, while stock CFDs can be traded with leverage and over-the-counter.
Participants can access specific company equities, allowing them to build holdings across various sectors. Many investors employ diversification strategies to mitigate unsystematic risk by spreading investments across multiple companies or sectors. For example, they might focus on defensive positions during periods of predicted volatility or develop a growth-oriented portfolio featuring small to mid-cap technology stocks.
