Capital Gains -
Definition Definition: The money gained when a stock appreciates (goes up). For example, if you owned 10 shares of stock that you paid $15 for and it went up to $30, you would have $150 in capital gains. TeenAnalyst Advice:
Capital gains are where you'll make the majority of your money if
you invest in common stock.
Some people think you make most of your money from dividends.
That's wrong.
