Abstract: Abstract The stock market crystallizes many dreams, but it is also the focus of fantasies and numerous ideological discourses. Let’s navigate these troubled waters together and try to improve our understanding in the following areas: the purpose of the stock market; the main types of transaction that are carried out on stock exchanges; the mechanisms for making money—or losing it, as so often happens—on the stock market.
