First hand source
As for the origin of this stock unit, there is a saying that because stocks are all paper, buying 100 shares was done in one hand, so it was gradually called the first hand. In any case, stock investors only need to know that this is a stock unit.

In addition to the stock market, the foreign exchange market and futures must be established on a first-hand basis. Although it is based on one hand, the amount of different stock markets, foreign exchange markets and futures is different. Let's talk about the rules of stocks in different markets first.
A shares: How many shares are there in a stock?
In Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, the single stock is 100 shares. In other words, no matter which stock you buy, as long as it is A shares, all stocks must be 100 shares.
Hong Kong stocks: How many shares in one hand?
Compared with A shares, Hong Kong stocks are a bit complicated. Generally speaking, the first hand can be 100 shares, 200 shares, 500 shares and so on. The situation of each stock may be different. Since the first hand of each stock may be different, investors can go to the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to learn more.
US stocks: How many shares are there in a stock?
Compared with Hong Kong stocks, US stocks are more free, and investors are not required to buy at least one hand. According to the regulations, US stocks can only buy 1 share or 2 shares, but most people will not do so, because the transaction cost is also a big cost.
In short, the US stock market has a low investment threshold. Take Kweichow Moutai stock as an example: Assuming Kweichow Moutai stock price is 500 yuan, it needs at least 50,000 yuan to buy A shares. If you buy Hong Kong stocks, it depends on the company's regulations. Suppose it is 100 shares, and the cost is the same as that of A shares. In the American stock market, you only need 500 yuan to buy it.
