One way that a company can raise money for expansion is to sell stock. When you buy a share of a company's stock, you become a shareholder, or part owner of that company. The cost of a share is often represented in points, where
each points represents one dollar. When a stock gains points, its shares increase in value, and when a stock loses
points, its shares decrease in value. For instance, if a stock gains three points one day, each share of its stock is worth
three dollars more than it was the day before. Positive decimal numbers are used to represent gains, and negative
decimal numbers are used to represent losses
