What is the Stock Market?
2
Summary- How does the stock market work? Is a
question you should ask yourself before you
develop stock market strategies and start
investing in the stock market. The answer to this
question is simple, companies go public by
offering a specific number of stocks in their
company to the public through the stock exchange.
3
Investors can use the stock exchange to buy and
sell stocks of companies. 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 the market and stock market strategies
though a formal education.
4
With the advent of the Internet many investors
are now learning how the stock market works
through online stock trading courses..

Description- The first term that you may hear
when you start learning about how the stock
market works is stock price. Stock prices are the
price that a specific stock is purchased or sold
for and is often a balance between what price
someone wants to sell a stock for, and what price
someone is prepared to purchase a stock for.
6
This price is determined by several market
factors such as the financial or technical health
of the company. This may be assessed by looking
at the companies market capitalization which is
price of the stock multiplied by the number of
outstanding shares. Basically it gives a net
worth value of the company and an indication of
its strength.
7
Other analysis that may determine demand and
stock price are the assessment of the companies
fundamentals by external experts, the state of
the economy, potential for future growth and
earnings, trends in spending, the historical
prices of the stock and media stories which all
determine investor sentiment and appetite to
invest in the stock market.

Online stock trading courses will teach you how
the stock market works and also different stock
market strategies. It is important to use stock
market strategies that fit your risk profile,
personality and time requirements.

One stock market strategy that is considered very
low risk and ideal for novice investors is
the share renting strategy. This strategy is
considered so low risk that it is allowed to be
implemented in the US 401(k) superannuation funds.
10
After you have decided which stock market
strategies you are comfortable with, you will
need to be able to buy and sell stocks. To be
able to buy stocks you will need to establish
some kind of investment account. In the past,
most investors opened an investment account with
a stock broker that works at a local firm and
paid a premium price in the form of brokerage for
their stock market knowledge.
11
However today many savvy, astute investors who
have a sound understanding of how the stock
market works through education, open an online
investment account and make trades without the
help of a stock broker.
12
This allows them to take advantage of the
knowledge they have gained through their online
stock trading course and take control of their
financial wealth. Often these online brokers also
offer substantial savings when purchasing and
selling stocks.
