What is share?

A share is a unit of ownership in a company or corporation. When an individual or entity purchases shares of a company, they become a part-owner of that company and are entitled to a portion of its profits and assets. Shares are typically bought and sold on stock exchanges, and the value of a share can fluctuate based on the performance of the company and market conditions.

A share is a unit of ownership in a company. When you buy a share, you become a shareholder and are entitled to a portion of the company's profits (if any) and a say in how the company is run.

Shares are typically bought and sold on stock exchanges, where their price is determined by supply and demand. The price of a share can fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the company's financial performance, the overall economy, and investor sentiment.

There are two main types of shares:

- Common shares give shareholders the right to vote on company matters and to receive dividends.
- Preferred shares give shareholders a priority claim on the company's assets and earnings, but they typically do not have voting rights.

Shares can be a good investment, but they also come with risk. The value of your shares can go up or down, and you could lose money if the company does not perform well.
