• What is Stock Trading?

  Stock trading involves buying and selling shares of publicly listed companies with the goal of profiting from price movements.
  At NSB Capital, our traders speculate on price changes using derivatives like Contracts for Difference (CFDs), without owning the actual shares.

  The terms "stocks" and "shares" are often used interchangeably. Stocks represent ownership in a company, and shares are individual units of that ownership.

  Types of Stocks

  There are several types of stocks:

  • Blue-chip stocks: Shares of large, well-established companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola, known for stability.

  • Growth stocks: Companies expected to grow faster than the market average.

  • Value stocks: Stocks trading below their true market value based on company fundamentals.

  • Penny stocks: Low-priced shares, often under $5 in the U.S., representing small-cap companies.

  • Dividend stocks: Companies that regularly distribute a portion of their earnings to shareholders.

  
  
  

Popular Stocks to Trade

Stock popularity fluctuates with market trends and economic cycles, but certain sectors remain consistently favored:

• Technology: Giants like Apple, Amazon, Meta (Facebook), Google (Alphabet), and Microsoft offer strong growth potential.

• Healthcare: Pharmaceutical and biotech leaders like Pfizer, Moderna, and BioNTech attract traders with innovation-driven volatility.

• E-commerce: Online giants like Shopify, eBay, and Alibaba continue to gain attention.

• Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy: Companies like Tesla, NIO, and First Solar benefit from the global push toward sustainability.

• Energy: Stocks like ExxonMobil and Chevron are closely watched due to oil and gas market influences.

• Financial Sector: Publicly traded banks like Barclays and Lloyds are key indicators of overall economic health.

Why Trade Stocks?

Traders engage in stock trading for a variety of reasons:

• Profit Potential: Traders aim to buy low and sell high (long positions) or sell high and buy low (short positions).

• Diversification: Managing stock positions across sectors helps reduce risk.

• Flexibility: Adapt strategies from day trading and swing trading to longer-term investment approaches.

With 20% margin required, you only need to deposit $8,000.
