Stock Info
I have always been fascinated and curious about the stock market. It wasn’t fully discussed in one of my major subjects in college so I am still in the learning process of how everything works.
This is probably one of the reasons why I want to visit New York. It houses the “financial district” because of the several stock and other exchanges being headquartered in Wall Street, Manhattan like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) and the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT).
I particularly would want to see the NYSE, also casually called “Big Board”, because it is the largest stock exchange in the world in terms of dollar volume. It is where people trade their stocks and other securities. Stock exchanges also has facilities for redeeming and/or issuing securities such as shares of stock issued by companies and bonds. In addition to the process of “trading”, stock brokers and traders also consider the foreign exchange market (or forex) which is the market for exchanging money in one currency for another. I am interested in how the transaction actually goes, and from there, who knows, one day I might be one of the brokers who you might be dealing with?
