Selling shares of stock
They buy shares of a company's stock. Each individual stock is ownership within that company. What they actually buy in terms of types of companies is totally dependent upon their individual preferences. That may be a tech company like Apple, a health company like Johnson & Johnson, or a motor vehicle company. Each company's stock has an individual price based on company performances, earnings, market trends and other factors. When you finally buy a company's stock whether 1 or 1,000,000, you own a portion of that company. The total value if your investment is stock price * number of shares. So if you buy 1,000,000 shares at $10 your total value is $10,000,000. The price of a stock will fluctuate up and down and the value of your investment will reflect that.
It means that the stock trader has started following the company, its operations, and its operations with the intention of wanting to buy shares.
A company goes public when shares in that company are offered for sale (floated) on a stock exchange somewhere in the world. At that point the ownership (or a share of the ownership) of the company passes to the people purchasing those shares - the public! Before this flotation the company will have been owned privately and the flotation produces funds which goes to these owners as they are in effect selling their property.
Companies sell stocks to raise money for the company. When a company wants to raise money they can decide to sell ownership of their company. To do this they determine the total monetary value of the company as a whole. They then determine how many fractions they want to divide the company into (each of these fractions is one share of that companies stock). Then the find investors who would like to buy partial ownership of the company and sell them the parts of the company. For Example: Lets say Company X is worth $15 milllion and they want to divide ownership of the company into 1 million parts. They would create 1 million share of Company X stock and each share would be worth $15. They could then sell the shares to investors who would then own part of the company equal to 1/1,000,000 times the number of shares they own.
