Shares are a type of security that allows their holders to claim a portion of a company's profits. Stocks of successful firms rise in value, while in the opposite case, traders and investors lose their funds. Trading these securities is interesting, as you can open both short and long positions and still receive income from them, even if their value began to fall.

Every year, public companies report on their profits and report what percentage of it the company will share with shareholders. This payment is called dividends, and they can be in the form of finance, additional shares or other assets.
