What are stocks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stocks are basically shares of a particular company which can be bought and sold for a particular amount. There will be a pool of many buyers, sellers and also businessmen who are always on the money and by the counters to see which company has stocks that have taken a dive and which company has stocks that are ready to be bought for a good amount of money.

Today let us consider euro where we can consider having a 1 euro coin lying on the desk. It is a known fact that this coin has a nominal value of exactly EUR 1. People assume that the coin might have a misprint or may also find that it is a particularly limited edition. This is a very common case on the rare stamps.<\/p>\n
