Investment Glossary

Stock Market - The stock market refers to the vehicle in which publicly traded stocks are exchanged. Traditionally, the stock market would be a place where company representatives and investors (or their representatives) would meet to buy and sell portions of ownership in their company.

Today, the stock market is automated and most exchanges take place electronically online via real-time buying and selling of stock.
