Why Do People Buy Stocks?
   
    One of the many reasons people buy stocks is because people want to invest their money.  You make money in the stock market when people buy  products from the company in which you own shares, and that company then makes a profit.  If you had stock in Nike and Coca Cola  and the stock price goes up, you make money. 

    Buying stocks is a gamble.  The reason it is a gamble is because you can lose money if people stop buying the company's product and then the stock price goes down.  Yet, you can make a fortune if the price goes back up.
