Shutterstock Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSTK#NYSE">SSTK</a>) shares are rising in extended trading on Tuesday after the company announced shareholder approval for its proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45873777/shutterstock-receives-stockholder-approval-for-proposed-merger-with-getty-images">merger with Getty Images Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GETY#NYSE">GETY</a>)</a>.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SSTK Stock</h1>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Shutterstock — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
SSTK, GETY Price Action: Tuesday after-hours at publication, <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SSTK">Shutterstock shares</a> were up 10.53% at $20.99 and Getty was up 11.24% at $1.88, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
