There are stock (股票) markets in large cities. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are the largest and most well-known. The stock market also called Stock Exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain owner-ship (股份) of a factory or company.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more: money than they already have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plans to save money.

Of course, investing (投資) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then stocks will go down, and investors (投資者) will lose money. The stock may go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

No wonder going to the stock market is compared to gambling (賭博). All are eager to make money by ‘gambling’ in the stock market.
