Stock Market Terminology
Common terms and general meanings.
Stocks are often discussed using a set of recurring terms that appear across financial publications, educational materials, and company communications. This site explains the general meaning of such terms, including shares, equity, market capitalization, dividends as a concept, liquidity, volatility, and trading volume, without associating them with specific outcomes or actions.
Definitions are presented to clarify how words are commonly used rather than to provide instruction. When a term may have different meanings depending on context, the site describes those differences at a high level. The focus remains on language and structure, helping readers understand what they may encounter when reading stock-related information in a general setting.
