Shares represent units of ownership within a company. Shares are also known as stocks or equities. Dividend payments are common with some companies, a method of sharing company profits with shareholders. In addition to traditional share dealing, however, traders can access derivatives: trading instruments derived from the movement of an underlying share price.
