Course: The basics of capital markets
Lesson Insights
The securities market is where investors can buy and sell various financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives. It is a crucial part of the financial system as it provides a platform for companies to raise capital and for investors to allocate their savings into profitable investments. The securities market operates both through regulated exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. The regulated exchanges, such as the NYSE and NASDAQ, provide a centralized and transparent marketplace for the trading of securities, while OTC markets are decentralized and often involve direct negotiation between buyers and sellers. The securities market is constantly evolving and adapting to new technologies, regulations, and market conditions, and it is essential for investors to stay informed and aware of the developments in this market.
