A stock is a share of ownership of the company. Simply put, being a stockholder makes you a part-owner of that particular company! The more stocks that you have for a particular company, the more shares you own of that company. As the owner of a stock – the stockholder, you have a claim on the companies’ assets and earnings.

The stock market is not a building or a structure; rather it is a collection of companies and individuals. Qualified companies converge here and open ownership to the general public through the buying and selling of stocks. It is where the buying and selling of stocks (and other transactions) from PSE Listed Companies take place. Locally, we have the highly capable PSE, which is a unified platform for trading for all the qualified companies in the Philippines. 

Compared to a broker-assisted trading – where orders are made with the help of a traditional stockbroker, online stock trading involves the use of the Internet by the investor itself to place orders when buying and/or selling securities.
