Intro Stock Market Investing Course

You can invest on any budget

Let’s start with a stock market definition, shall we?

In a nutshell, the stock market is where investors can buy and sell securities, or stakes in individual companies as well as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (ETFs think: Stash, Acorns, Qapital)

The market concept is also used for the trading of other items like bonds and treasuries, but the stock market has the most public visibility. Also known as a securities exchange, the stock market is subject to government regulation and has its own set of rules.

Analysts follow the performance of the overall market using what are called indexes. A securities market index indicates the performance of the stock market. How it works is that the index measures a weighted average value of a collection of securities.

Some of the major indexes are the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.

When an index drops, it means the average value of all the stocks in the index is down from the previous business day. Conversely, when an index is on the rise, it means that the average value of all the stocks in the index is up from the prior day.

You can think of a stock market as a safe and regulated auction house where buyers and sellers can negotiate prices and trade investments.

A stock market is a network of exchanges of sorts, and companies list shares on an exchange. Investors then purchase shares and buy and sell them among one another. Many of the investors are major funds controlling lots of money, but individuals can buy and sell through a broker like Acorns, Robinhood, TD Ameritrade or Stash .

You might’ve watched scenes in movies or on TV shows where buyers and sellers are on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange fervently yelling “Buy, Buy, Buy!” or “Sell, Sell, Sell!”

Whereas historically the stock market has been a physical marketplace, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange, these days securities are more commonly traded through a collection of trading platforms. Nearly all transactions these days are done digitally – not in person.

The Life of a Stockbroker

Ever seen this movie?

When you hear the word “stock exchanges,” these are the actual markets where company shares are traded.

If someone is referring to the stock market in the U.S., they’re either talking about the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) or the Nasdaq (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations). They might also be discussing one of the major indexes, like the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500.
