What does “The stock Market” consist of? There are roughly 5000 Publically traded U.S. stocks out there…..So how do we keep track of them all?
Stock Market Landscape • 3 main Indexes that are followed: The Nasdaq Dow Jones Industrial Average S&P 500
How are stocks Identified? • Found via their TICKER SYMBOL= Stocks “ID” • Symbols are 1 to 4 letters in length • Citigroup= C • Facebook= FB • Bank of America= BAC • Apple = AAPL
Market summary • 3 main indexes are simply an easy way to gauge the performance of stocks as a whole without looking at 5000 individual stocks. • There are many other indexes out there that track every sector and type of stocks. • The best way to start understanding stocks is to begin with what you know!
