In this article, I will go over some of the common stock market terms.
Stock Market: a way to bring people together to buy and sell shares of stocks, as well as other investments such as bonds and security.
Trading Floor: one way to bring people together to buy and sell shares of stock is through a trading floor. For example, the New York Stock Exchange uses a trading floor were buyers and sellers of stock negotiate their trades face-to-face.
Electronic Exhange: this is where a stock market brings buyers and sellers together electronically, through a computer network, using an electronic exchange. An example of this would be the NASDAQ Stock market.
