How does the stock market work?

The stock market works by pairing buyers and sellers, who want to trade financial securities, and helping facilitate transactions. Or, in other words, a stock exchange or stock market is a physical or digital place where investors can buy and sell stock, or shares, in publicly traded companies, among other securities.

When did the stock market start?

Although the first stock market began in Amsterdam in 1611, the U.S. didn’t get into the stock market game until the late 1700s. It was then that a small group of merchants made the Buttonwood Tree Agreement.
