Stock Trading Market
By Sardool Sikandar
It is the market in which shares are issued and traded
either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. It
promotes investment in corporate securities, providing capital
for new businesses and income for investors. Some exchange
members are specialists in particular types of securities,
while others act as agents for other brokers. The main purpose
of a stock market is to facilitate the exchange of securities
between buyers and sellers.
There are two main types of stock available to the public.
The common stock is owned by many investors and it is more
widely available. Companies generally offer this type of stock
to the public to raise money. The preferred stock represents
ownership of a corporation, but it differs in several
aspects.
Stocks that are handled by one or more stock exchanges are
called listed stocks. Each and every exchange has its own
criteria and standards. Once a company is listed, trading in
its stock will be blocked if the company's financial condition
devolves to the point that it no longer meets the exchange's
minimum requirements. The different types of traders are
scalpers, momentum traders, technical traders and fundamental
traders.
There are different stock exchanges that are offering stocks
for investors. Out of all these, NASDAQ is the most popular
stock exchange. Other largest stock exchange in the U.S. is New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which is formed in 1792. The
activities of the stock market are closely monitored by the
federal Securities and Exchange Commission to prevent the
manipulation of stock prices and other activities that lessen
investor confidence. The third largest exchange in the U.S. is
the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The AMEX used to be an
alternative to the NYSE, but that role has since been filled by
the NASDAQ.
In fact, the National Association of Securities Dealers
(NASD), which is the parent of NASDAQ, bought the AMEX in 1998.
Almost all trading now on the AMEX is in small-cap stocks and
derivatives. There are many stock exchanges located in just
about every country around the world. The two other main
financial hubs are London, home of the London Stock Exchange
and Hong Kong, home of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The OTCBB
is home to penny stocks because there is little to no
regulation.
