Difference between loan and stock exchange

Loan: It means that you borrow some money from someone and then you repay it with the interest.

Stock exchange: Here you buy shares of one company and become the part of the company. Then when the company makes profits, you get yous % of share in the profit and you can credit it to your accounts.

A loan is an agreement made between the bank and the customer, where you take a certain amount with the promise to pay in the future, plus interest and, often, in pre-defined installments.

The stock exchange is a market, where people and companies relate through the purchase and sale of their bonds and shares. If you decide to sell a stock and another investor is interested in buying it, the exchange will be the meeting point between you.
