When you buy stocks, you own a share of the company and get a stock certificate showing that you are a part owner (shareholder) of a corporation.

The benefit of investing in stocks is that if the company makes  a profit, the stock price will go up. On the other hand, if the company is not profitable, the share price will come down.

The key to investing is to pick the right stock. For example, if you buy shares in Disney, which makes movies such as A Bug's Life and Toy Story II that many kids want to see, Disney will be very profitable and so will you.
