Stock Market

The stock market is where investors exchange their shares of companies where they look at the entire market index performance. The stock market would either go up or down, which is determined by whether investors made a net profit or net loss.

The market works by buyers bidding on how much they would spend, but rather than the bid above the initial price, it’s less; called the bid-ask spread. This is usually the first thing you see when buying stock and how much you’re willing to bid.

It’s regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and protects investors with security maintenance. It’s not as complex anymore because stock markets work electronically.

The purpose of a stock market is to allow the public the opportunity to purchase or sell ownership of a company. It allows everyone to share their control and negotiate prices based on demand that both parties agree.
