Task 2. Reading
Buying and Selling Stocks
Suppose you decide that you want to invest some of your money in stocks. How do you go about buying them? Most people first seek out the services of a stockbroker, a dealer who specializes in stock transactions. Stockbrokers will advise you on which stocks to buy and when to buy them. Stockbrokers will also process your order, charging you a certain percentage of the order as a fee. Stock­brokers will also help you sell your stocks, again for a fee.
Stockbrokers usually buy and sell stocks through a trading market known as a stock exchange. There are several hundred stock exchanges in the United States. Of these, the best known are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), both of which are located in New York. Other cities such as Chicago and San Francisco also have stock exchanges. Stock exchanges provide a central place in which both buyers and sellers of stock can meet. Brokers who are members exchange carry out the orders of their customers. This means that many dif­ferent brokers are carrying out many different orders. The final buying or selling prices are arrived at as a result of an auction.
Some investors feel that they are sufficiently knowledgeable to decide on their own which securities to buy or sell. Rather than pay full fees for such services as consultations and research, they take advantage of the brokerage services offered by many banks. Gener­ally, bank brokerage services allow the investor to save on broker­age commissions since they do not provide advice about which stock to buy.
