Stock are first and foremost equities. That means that in buying a stock, you do indeed own a small portion of the company. This allows you to take advantage in a companies growth, or profit from a company that may be undervalued. Depending on the company and what class of share you own, you may also be entitled to dividends which can earn you a steady income regardless of what the stock price is doing. Diversifying into different sectors will keep you from being overexposed to one company or sector, so that as a whole, you may take advantage of the nation's GDP growth over time.
