GoStockTrade.com Primer: Understanding the Stock Market
Introduction
If you have a retirement account, you're already participating in the stock market. But how does this fascinating market operate? Picture a familiar auction, not with cars or antiques, but with shares of public companies being bid on.
How the Stock Market Functions
To simplify, think of an auctioneer striving to secure the best price. Stock exchanges worldwide operate similarly, with the role of the "auctioneer" being performed by a Market Maker. Unlike fixed prices, stock prices fluctuate as Market Makers adjust them based on the actions of buyers and sellers?"essentially the natural push and pull of the market.
Understanding Price Fluctuations
When a stock price increases, it usually means buyers are willing to pay more for it. Conversely, if the price decreases, sellers may be accepting less. The dynamics of buying and selling define these changes.
Inside the Trading Floor
You’ve seen those frantic trading floors on the news, where traders monitor screens and shout numbers. Trading operates from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Influenced by business news, forecasts, and global events, trading volume can vary significantly.
Major Stock Exchanges
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and American Stock Exchange are well-known, but don’t forget NASDAQ. Unlike its counterparts, NASDAQ is computerized, yet retains the bidding essence. Traders use a Level II quote system to buy and sell stocks.
Trading Today
Luckily, you don’t need to be in the frenzied pit to succeed in stock trading. With a computer at home, or by visiting a trading office in a big city, you can trade stocks. Many online brokerages provide resources to help you start your journey in becoming a proficient stock trader.
Conclusion
Embrace the world of stock trading from the comfort of your home and equip yourself with the tools and knowledge to succeed. Happy trading!
