INTRODUCTION TO TRADING

Historically, stock markets were physical locations where buyers and sellers met and
negotiated. With the improvement in communications technology in the late 20th century, the
need for a physical location became less important, as traders could transact from remote
locations. Participants in the stock market range from small individual stock investors to large
hedge fund traders, who can be based anywhere. Their orders usually end up with a
professional at a stock exchange, who executes the order. Some exchanges are physical
locations where transactions are carried out on a trading floor, by a method known as open
outcry. This type of auction is used in stock exchanges and commodity exchanges where
traders may enter "verbal" bids and offers simultaneously. The other type of stock exchange
is a virtual kind, composed of a network of computers where trades are made electronically
via traders. The shares of a company may in general be transferred from shareholders to other
parties by sale or other mechanisms, unless prohibited. Most jurisdictions have established
laws and regulations governing such transfers, particularly if the issuer is a publicly-traded
entity The desire of stockholders to trade their shares has led to the establishment of stock
exchanges. A stock exchange is an organization that provides a marketplace for trading shares
and other derivatives and financial products. Today, investors are usually represented by
stock brokers who buy and sell shares of a wide range of companies on the exchanges. A
company may list its shares on an exchange by meeting and maintaining the listing
requirements of a particular stock exchange. Actual trades are based on an auction market
model where a potential buyer bids a specific price for a stock and a potential seller asks a
specific price for the stock. (Buying or selling at market means you will accept any ask price
or bid price for the stock, respectively.) When the bid and ask prices match, a sale takes place,
on a first-come-first-served basis if there are multiple bidders or askers at a given price. The
purpose of a stock exchange is to facilitate the exchange of securities between buyers and
sellers, thus providing a marketplace (virtual or real). The exchanges provide real-time
trading information on the listed securities, facilitating price discovery.
