Reading a quote
The price is the last trade. "Bid" is what buyers offer, "ask" is what sellers want; the gap is the spread. A wide spread means the thing is hard to trade.

Market
Market basics
Live prices: Not live BRO has no live market feed here, so this page shows no prices, and BRO never gives buy or sell signals. It's for learning only.
Market vs limit orders
A market order fills now at whatever price is there. A limit order fills only at your price or better, or not at all. Limits protect you in fast or thin markets.
Spread your risk
One stock or one coin can drop to zero. Broad funds hold hundreds of companies, so one failure doesn't sink you. Never put in money you'll need in the next few years.
Spot the hype
"Guaranteed returns", "act today", a stranger who wants to coach you, or an app you've never heard of: those are the marks of a pump-and-dump or an investment scam. Check the link or message with Verify.
Fees add up
A 1% yearly fee takes about a quarter of your growth over 30 years. Compare fund expense ratios and trading fees before you buy.
Taxes matter
Gains are usually taxed when you sell, and short-term gains often cost more. Tax-advantaged accounts can change the math a lot.
