Trading Basics
What is Stock Trading?
Stock trading involves buying and selling shares of publicly listed companies on stock exchanges like NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). When you buy a stock, you become a partial owner of that company.

Key Market Participants
The market includes retail investors, institutional investors (FII/DII), brokers, market makers, and regulatory bodies like SEBI that ensure fair trading practices.
