Talking about the stock market, the first thing may come to minds is easy money some people get in stock markets. But this is only one side of the coin. The stock business can be risky, too; and you may lose your money all of a sudden. To be a successful investor, you should have a good knowledge of stock business or you can simply hire a stockbroker. I’ve never been to the stock market before. But as a learner of English, I’d like to learn some stock market vocabularies and share them with you, too. Let’s go.
Stock market: In the stock market, investors sell and buy the shares (stocks) of companies so that they can earn money from the future profits of the company based on the number of shares they are holding.
Stock exchange: It’s a marketplace where investors can sell and/or buy stocks.
Stockbroker: Brokers are licensed professionals who connect buyers and sellers of the stocks. In other words, you pay them a fee (called a commission) and they buy and sell an investment on behalf of you.
Bubble: Bubble is a situation in which the prices of a company go up all of a sudden. But it doesn’t mean that the company is doing well. But it can be due to the increased demands of the buyers, and it may lead to a sudden burst (failure).
Bull market: A market situation in which the prices are going up. It means a company is doing well and is making money. This situation may encourage investors to buy the shares.
Bear Market: A bear market is when the prices are falling. And it means that the company is losing money. This situation may encourage investors to sell the shares.

Let’s discuss:
Have you been to the stock market? If so, did you get a huge sum of money or you lost? Could you share some business terms with us and define them?

great !
Dear hurieh, thanks for your interesting and informative post. Although i am not good at economical issues but your post is quite useful.
Dear, Hurieh,
I am not familiar with stock market, but today I learned few lovely words. Thanks for sharing sweet heart.
Well Done!
dear Mishaikh,
Oh. I'm sorry to hear about your failure in stocks. I also have seen some people who lost big money in stocks. You know, It's not a good idea to invest in stock business or similar businesses. The more you get profits, the greedier you are. If you happen to lose money, though, you may experience a really bad feeling. I saw some investors who lost their money in stocks and they had the feeling as if it was the end of the world.
As to your surprise, I have to confess that my intention of writing such a blog was to introduce some business terms to our friends. That's it. I'm not going to go in stock market .
Thanks for your comment.
Dear Batuhan,
It sounds like you have a finger in stock market. Your comments are always informative. Thanks so much.
Dera AG,
Thanks for your encouraging comment.
Dear Just for Men,
As daer Bathuhan said, patiencce is a crucial necessity for being a successful investor in stock market.
I don't know if we have bear market or bull market in our stock exchanges. But I guess these business flactuations are global, right? I mean the majority of countries have economical issues. But I'm not sure because I'm not a businessman. This is what I'm telling myself based on what I'm hearing from my friends all around the world.
And would you please tell us why you think stock is kind of gamble? Why Islamic countries are still following stock markets if it is gambling?
Dear Paula ,
"Chance" has positive connotation in my mother language. I assumed it's also true in English. Thanks for reminding me of this point.
How come you in this business hurieh? I am surprised!
I have never been to Stock Market. But I tried to get business through one of my friends who were supposed to be expert of stock market. One I got prophet. Second time I collapsed and the stock I purchased dragged dow to dust. 100% loss. Since than I never tried. But I have seen number of people ruining themselves in this business. Yes ofcourse, my boss seems to be experienced, but he regularly watches market pulses on website and gets on to his agent on phone, "buy this, sell that'. He buys in bearish stocks of prospective companies and then sell them in bullish. So I have neven seen him in big loss. His stock business is in over a million rupees.
This is very risky. Those who do not have any knowledge of stock market, avoid it. This is also an all time business. Need full concentration and observations and of course some inner relationship with certain people.
