Many people say that stock trading is actually a scam. Is it true? Lao Liang, a commodity stock trader, is a fool. Is it true that he cannot make a fortune?

Answer: Stock trading is not a scam. With a certain knowledge of the stock market and reasonable operation, you can make money.

A simple understanding is that stocks are ownership certificates issued by joint-stock companies. For example, if you buy more than 50% shares in a company, then you have absolute control over the company, which means that the company will listen to you and you are the boss of the company. More than 50% of the shares you buy are proof that you own the company.

A company's stock issuance is generally a stock issued to investors in order to raise funds. Both unlisted companies and listed companies have shares, but the shares of unlisted companies cannot be traded on the stock exchange. Securities are the general name of all kinds of economic rights and interests certificates, and there are many classifications. Here, we only need to know that stocks and bonds are both securities.

The main purpose is to raise funds for their own development. When a company goes public, it usually takes out a part of its total shares and puts them in the secondary market, that is, the stock exchange. In addition to financing, there are many benefits of listing a company, such as improving the company's popularity and influence, facilitating refinancing in the future, and facilitating the initial investors to cash out, forming a virtuous circle. In short, only the controllers or executives of listed companies have the concept of "net worth". After listing, the company can mortgage shares and pay with shares to save cash. In short, there are many benefits to going public. The financing methods of listed companies are much more than those of unlisted companies. However, listed companies also have some disadvantages, such as increased audit costs, the need to disclose financial reports on time, and the easy loss of corporate controlling rights. But overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The answer to whether you can make money is yes, but making money and whether you can maintain profitability are two concepts. Many people will find it very easy to make money in the short term, as if everything they buy goes up. In reality, we may often see such people, but correspondingly, there are very few people who can make long-term profits, and most of them make money only by losing money. Finally, they found that they still lost money. So it is easy to make money in the short term, but it is difficult to make profits in the long term. Only by mastering the correct investment concept, building a trading system suitable for you and strictly implementing the set trading strategy can you make long-term profits.

Conclusion: Stock trading is not a scam. You can make money if you have some stock market knowledge and operate reasonably. The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market. It is easy to lose money in stock trading. It is easy to lose money in stock trading. Retail investors are particularly prone to lose money in stock trading.
