We're going to be talking a lot about investing and the stock market in this blog, so I thought it would be useful for everyone to understand what exactly happens when an individual or a mutual fund buys shares of a company (buys stocks). There doesn't seem to be a simple way to explain this completely, but this video by MIT and Harvard business school graduate, Salman Khan, is the best explanation I could find.
I hope that video was helpful. If anything wasn't clear, or you have any questions or comments, please write them in the comments section and I will try and find a different video to address the concern.
