How Does the Stock Market Work?

How Does the Stock Market Work? Before you start investing in the stock market it is a good idea to ask yourself, “How does the stock market work?” The answer to this question is simple. Companies go public by offering a specific number of shares in their company to the public through the stock exchange. Investors then can use the stock exchange to buy and sell stocks of companies that they are interested in. While this basic description of how the stock market works is adequate enough to understand what the stock market is, to get a better understanding of how it actually works it will be important to learn about some of the terms that are commonly used when discussing the stock exchange including stock prices and market capitalization. Let's do this by example. Let's say you are the owner of a company that is worth $10 million. You want to share the risk (and rewards) of doing business so you decide to 'go public'. You then decide to divide your business net worth ($1m) into 1 million pieces (shares). You then decide to sell 900,000 shares to the general public on the stock exchange. Simple math places the initial offering price of your shares at $10 each. You then have an 'Initial Public Offering' (IPO) where you sell the 900,000 shares with a starting price of $10. Your business is now $9 million richer in cash but you are no longer the boss but working for the share holders. Generally cash generated by IPO's are used to expand the business, cancel debt, etc. As time progress your business makes money and/or loses money. If you make a profit your business decides how much of that profit is retained to invest in the business and the remainder is divided up among the share holds. Let's say in the first quarter after your IPO, your company made $100,000 in profit that will be given to teh shareholders in the form of a dividend. Since there are 1million shares outstanding each share holder will get $.10 times the number of shares they have. You will receive $10,000 because you kept 100,000 shares. The value of a business can be determined by multiplying the number of outstanding shares (1m) times the current share market price. If the business made money and purchased assets and such, then the value of the indiviual shares will grow. If the company loses money the value of the shares fall. The buyers and sellers of the shares of your business are watching the value of your business to determine when to buy and when to sell which is all based on how they think your business will perform in the future. Buy a low priced share of a business that makes good money and the share value goes up, divindens are paid and you sell your stock at nice profit. Buy a high priced stare and the business falters and share values drop and no dividends are paid and you lose money.

NASDAQ History

The NASDAQ was developed in 1971 as the first electronic stock exchange in the world. It was created as a means to increase the trading of Over-the-Counter stocks, those that were unable to meet listing requirements for larger exchanges. 2,500 OTC stocks were traded on the NASDAQ's first trading day, February 8, 1971. By 1975, the NASDAQ displayed only NASDAQ-listed stocks, separating itself from other OTC stocks. Five years later the NASDAQ began displaying inside quotations, which showed the markets best bid and best sell prices on screen. This basically kept the market makers honest, and published spreads (margin between the best bid and best sell) declined on more than 85% of NASDAQ stocks."

History of the New York Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange traces its origins to 1792, when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement. This agreement set in motion the NYSE’s unwavering commitment to investors and issuers. Now NYSE Euronext welcomes the historic American Stock Exchange into the world’s largest and most liquid exchange group. Originally called the "curb market" because its brokers traded outdoors in the street, the Amex has been at the forefront of the U.S. financial markets over the course of two centuries. From Wikipedia: The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by 24 stock brokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street which earlier was the site of a stockade fence. On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board". (This name was shortened to its current form in 1863.) Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange's first president. (For other presidents, see List of presidents of the New York Stock Exchange.) The first central location of the NYSE was a room rented for $200 a month in 1817 located at 40 Wall Street. The NYSE was destroyed in the Great Fire of New York (1835). It moved to a temporary headquarters. In 1863 it changed its name to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In 1865 it moved to 10-12 Broad Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was created by Dow Jones & Company, a financial news publisher, in 1896. The volume of stocks traded increased sixfold in the years between 1896 and 1901 and a larger space was required to conduct business in the expanding marketplace.[8] Eight New York City architects were invited to participate in a design competition for a new building and the Exchange selected the neoclassic design from architect George B. Post. Demolition of the existing building at 10 Broad Street and the adjacent lots started on 10 May 1901. The New York Stock Exchange building opened at 18 Broad Street on April 22, 1903 at a cost of $4 million. The trading floor was one of the largest volumes of space in the city at the time at 109 x 140 feet (33 x 42.5 m) with a skylight set into a 72-foot (22 m) high ceiling. The main façade of the building features marble sculpture by John Quincy Adams Ward in the pediment, above six tall Corinthian capitals, called “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man”. The building was listed as a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 1978.[9] In 1922, a building designed by Trowbridge & Livingston was added at 11 Broad Street for offices, and a new trading floor called "the garage". Additional trading floor space was added in 1969 and 1988 (the "blue room") with the latest technology for information display and communication. Another trading floor was opened at 30 Broad Street in 2000. With the arrival of the Hybrid Market, a greater proportion of trading was executed electronically and the NYSE decided to close the 30 Broad Street trading room in early 2006. In late 2007 the exchange closed the rooms created by the 1969 and 1988 expansions due to the declining number of traders and employees on the floor, a result of increased electronic trading. The 11 Wall Street building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978

What is the difference between NYSE and NASDAQ securities?

There are some trivial listing requirements differences, but they all have to have their SEC paperwork up to date. Most companies on either could qualify for the other, so it's really a choice for companies. Older companies tend to be listed on the NYSE because NASDAQ didn't exist when they were looking for an exchange listing and the NYSE makes it hard for companies to leave. The NYSE has a broader base of more sectors than the NASDAQ which is heavily weighted to Tech Stocks. The traditional difference between them was order systems that are now converging on all electronic order s. The NASDAQ was more forward thinking in recent years when it came to leveling the field for the individual investor, but the NYSE has outgrown it's legacy tradition of being exclusionary. There are still differences in licensing requirements, fees and some rules, but the difference between them is becoming less and less every year.
