I have a question on investing in stock market?

I interested in learning more about the stock market. If one invests in stock, if the stock rises how does one make money? Does the one investing in stock have to sell his shares of stock in order to get profit when the stock rises or how does that work? I appreciate any answers and thank you!

If you buy a stock for $10, then it rises to $12, and you sell it for $12, then you’ve made a profit of $2.
The downside is that if it drops to $8, you won’t know whether or not it’ll ever go back up so that you can get your profit.

hi,
Yes, to get profit we must sell the stocks. If not, we only get unrealized profits.
cheers

hi there !!
hi friend !!
When I was a newbie to this world of stocks…I wanted to know the easiest and simple online trading platform which would guide me to learn stocks, how to deal with them, when to buy and when to sell.
I was referred to gnutrade online trading platform and Im still on this trading platform from my trading career. GnuTrade is a online trading platform which is especially designed for newbies and is very easy to understand and smooth for trading..
I think it will be useful for you too as learning center and helpdesk team will also support you at every moment.
Good luck
