PART V: Translate the following text into Spanish

What do they do on the stock market every day?

Basically, the biggest markets in the world, like Wall
Street, try to value companies every day according
to the economic prospects of the company and the
progress of the economy. A company that wants to
offer its shares to the public must first come to the
market through an IPO, an Initial Public Offering.
When it has this 'listing' the price of the shares can
be 'quoted' every day in trading.
This initial offer to investors is organized by an
investment bank which supports the company
and organizes the first day of trading. They work,
of course, with the market regulators, like the
Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK or
the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC)
in the US, to make sure that the company follows
all the regulations and the company is not trying
to defraud investors.
