Before opening an account with Bank of America (BAC), it helps to understand the category itself. The five short sections below explain how stocks & shares work, who they suit, the main risks, where they fit in a plan, and the US regulatory rules.
Stocks represent fractional ownership in a public company. Picking individual stocks gives you the most control — and the most risk — of any common investment.
A share of stock is a unit of ownership in a public company. As a shareholder you have a claim on the company's earnings and assets, can vote on certain corporate matters, and may receive dividends if the company pays them.
Investors who want hands-on control over which businesses they own, who are willing to research companies, and who can tolerate single-stock volatility.
A single company can lose most or all of its value due to competition, management mistakes, fraud, or industry decline. Concentration risk is the main reason most advisors recommend diversifying across many holdings or using funds.
Individual stocks usually sit on top of a diversified core of index funds, not in place of one. Many investors cap single-stock holdings at a fixed percentage of net worth so a blow-up in any one name can't derail the plan. Use a brokerage IRA when possible to defer or eliminate tax on gains.
Public US equities trade on SEC-registered exchanges through FINRA-member brokers. SIPC protects the securities in your account up to $500,000 if the broker fails — it does not protect against the stock itself falling. Companies must file regular disclosures on EDGAR.
