BASICS OF STOCK MARKET PART-1

 WHAT IS STOCK MARKET?

• The term stock market refers to several exchanges in which shares of publicly held companies are bought and sold. Such financial activities are conducted through formal exchanges and via over-the-counter (OTC) marketplaces that operate under a defined set of regulations. 

Both “stock market” and “stock exchange” are often used interchangeably. Traders in the stock market buy or sell shares on one or more of the stock exchanges that are part of the overall stock market.

The leading U.S. stock exchanges include the New York Stock Exchange  (NYSE) and the Nasdaq.

Shares and stock of a company or index is same. You bought a share or a stock both is same.

Father of stock market

• Benjamin Graham, dubbed the "father of value investing," became famous for his investing style, literary contributions on investing, and research. Graham lectured at his alma mater, Columbia University, and eventually became a professor of finance there.
