In general, parlance stock is the capital raised by a company/corporation through the floating of shares to public entitling holders to an ownership interest. In due course as the company forges ahead in the path of growth with increasing profitability, the value of the shares increase due to the improved dividend checks.

There are thousands of companies registered with the stock exchange with millions of shares owned by the public. The public for a predetermined value to raise capital for the company buys these shares. Once the companies succeed in their venture, the value of the shares/stocks increase creating a demand for them in the stock market, resulting in it being traded. Once trading in a particular stock commences, its value is determined in the stock market keeping in view its demand and supply, company profile, prospects of dividend, etc. At times cost of particular stocks zoom up due to speculative trading and on the turn around prices may fall for lack of demand.
