Description - How the stock market works is a
mystery that confuses many people and
unfortunately prevents them from investing in the
stock market. However many of us who have money
in any type of retirement or managed fund account
can count ourselves as a participant in the stock
market anyway. Have you ever stopped to wonder
how the stock market works
4
If you have ever attended an auction then you
might be able to relate to the daily operation of
the stock market. The stock market is basically
an auction between those who believe that the
stock is overpriced and will drop (known as the
bears) and those who think the stock will go up
and is underpriced (known as the bulls)
5
At an auction there is an auctioneer the New
York Stock Exchange (the largest stock market in
the world where 85 of the worlds finance is
exchanged) and the American Stock Exchange is
called the market maker. The market maker tries
to match buyers with sellers so it is acting as
the auctioneer.
6
There is no set stock price so Institutions and
traders can bid for and offer to sell stock at
different prices and a balance between these
determines the final stock price as set by the
market maker. Stock Market prices fluctuate
throughout the day depending on supply and
demand.
7
Bidders buy on the expectation that the stock
price will go higher and sellers sell because
they think the stock price will go lower. The
stock market is a game of psychology between the
bulls and bears that repeats itself daily.
8
There are many stock market indexes that comprise
groups of stocks within a certain group or
industry. These indexes rise and fall depending
on the stock prices of the companies included in
these indexes. The most famous stock market index
is the Dow Jones which comprises the top 30
stocks in the USA there is also the SP 500 that
is made up of 500 so called blue chip stocks.
9
The NAZDAQ operates completely differently from
the New York and American Stock exchanges. The
NAZDAQ operates completely electronically. The
trades placed on the NAZDAQ are placed through a
huge computerized network. Buyers and sellers
place their bids and offer stocks through the
network.
10
The stocks in the system are put into different
levels depending on their bid or ask price. The
highest bid price gets the top position for the
purchasers and the lowest sell price is the first
to be sold for the sellers. This is basically a
description of how the stock market bid and ask
system works when you see different prices listed
for a particular stock.
11
To most stock market investors all this goes on
behind the scenes. The internet has simplified
access and the understanding required into how
the stock market works in order to invest
successfully. The number of investors investing
