How to use 股票

股票 is the everyday word for stocks or shares, and it often goes with verbs like 买 (mǎi, buy), 卖 (mài, sell) and 炒 (chǎo, trade or speculate). Example: 他最近在买股票。(Tā zuìjìn zài mǎi gǔpiào.) He has been buying stocks lately.

股 (gǔ) means a share or portion, and 票 (piào) means a ticket or slip of paper, as in 车票 (chēpiào) and 门票 (ménpiào). A stock is a "share ticket": a paper that proves you own a portion of a company.

Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 一个股票, but the natural measure words are 只 (zhī) or 支 (zhī), as in 一只股票 (yì zhī gǔpiào), or 股 when counting shares. Also keep the tones straight: 股 is third tone and 票 is fourth tone, gǔpiào.
