A stock or equity market is the collection of purchasers and traders, a system of economic dealings, not distinct bodies, of stocks or shares. Stocks are tradable assets (equity securities) listed on a stock exchange in addition to those which can only be confidentially traded. The markets which issue and trade shares by means of exchange are known as stock markets or as the equity markets which are one of the most essential parts of a market economy. They offer firms which can acquire assets and shareholders with a part of the possession of the business, and the chance to gain huge profits depending on the firm's potential performance. The US stock market is an everyday word used to discuss a place where stocks (units of ownership in a business) and bonds are traded. The aim of an investor is to purchase the stock, keep it for some time, and then sell the stock for more than the amount you paid for it, thus getting a profit. Investors holding stock for more than 15 years generally succeed in the market. Stocks are long-term investments. However, there are no guarantees.

If there is one area guaranteed to confuse many traders and lead to multiple opinions on the most appropriate approach, it is the subject of stop losses. The science and the art of placing stops is featured extensively in many trading books and guides, but the bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer, simply the fact that stop losses must be used to limit potential downside exposure when trading. Traders should also be careful not to confuse stop losses with buy stops, which trigger an opening position rather than closing the trade. It is very important not to package together the placing of stops with money management, as the two represent different strands of trading. Simply put, stops are there to protect profits and limit the potential downside at any time once a trade has been opened, and are part of an exit strategy for trades that are already open. Money management covers position sizing or amounts to be risked within each trade of a portfolio.
