A post on the absolute basics of how stocks work, written for an intelligent, open-minded, yet totally uninformed audience.
It could cover info on how and why stock gets created in the first place, regulatory agencies and what they do, what benefits and risks are attached to stock ownership, the different ways it can earn money for its owners, and then get into the more theoretical stuff and weird behavior that tends to get talked about more.
The reason I’d like to read this is that I’ve picked up all my (limited) financial knowledge from conversations, news articles, and podcasts. I’ve never tried to understand finance from the ground up, so my knowledge feels very patchy.
Caveat: Articles like this do already exist. It’s just that I never thought to seek one out until about yesterday. It’s probably better for someone with your experience to write new content rather than to do a new spin on old content, unless you are familiar enough with the “for beginners” content that’s out there to have a sense of how it could be improved.
