Wondering how to grow your money without overloading your brain? Welcome to Stock Market 101 — a simple, stress-free guide for students, young professionals, and curious minds ready to put their money to work.
💡 What Even Is the Stock Market?
Think of the stock market as a giant online bazaar where instead of buying momos or sneakers, you buy ownership stakes in companies (a.k.a. shares).
Matlab, jab aap ek share kharidte ho, toh aap us company ke chhote se co-owner ban jaate ho. Agar company kama rahi hai, toh aap bhi kama sakte ho. Simple.
In India, most of this buying-selling drama happens at two main spots:
- NSE (National Stock Exchange)
- BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange)
💰 Why Do Companies Give Out Shares Like Free Samples?
Companies ko chahiye paisa – naye products banane ke liye, naye markets explore karne ke liye, ya fir office mein nayi chai machine lagwane ke liye 😅
So, they do an IPO (Initial Public Offering) – basically asking the public to invest in their dreams. Aap invest karo, wo grow karein, aur aapko mile return ya dividend. Win-win.
📈 Why Should You Even Invest in Stocks?
Because:
- Aapka paisa banega paisa 💸
- Long-term mein FD se zyada return milta hai
- Dividends = passive income
- Aur kisiko “Main Reliance ka shareholder hoon” bolna acha lagta hai, right?
📚 Must-Know Stock Market Lingo
No, you don’t need a PhD in finance, bas yeh terms samajh lo:
- Stock/Share: Company mein aapka hissa
- Dividend: Company ka profit ka ek tukda, aapke liye
- Portfolio: Aapke saare investments ka thaila
- Bull Market: Jab market upar ki taraf bhaag raha ho
- Bear Market: Jab market udaasi mein ho 🐻
- Index (Sensex, Nifty 50): Market ke top performers ka scorecard

1️⃣ Open a Demat + Trading Account
Use trusted apps like:

⚠️ Risks Ka Gyaan – Because Real Talk Zaroori Hai
- Stocks kabhi upar, kabhi neeche – patience is sexy
