We have been set up as a small directory style site to teach people how the stock market works but to also give useful and relevent links to other sites which specialize in their feild. For example option trading, cfd trading,stock picks and stock market reports which provide stock picks and for beginners an internal page which describes in plain english what the stock market is and how it works in simple easy to understand terms.

There is also a section which provides links to all the major stock exchanges around the world from Australia to America to Canada to Japan.

Put simply the stock market is a place where investors,traders and owners of stocks come to buy and sell their holdings. If you think of it the ame way and a fruit and vegetable market it makes it a little bit easier to understand.

Obviously it is a lot more complicated than that but in essence that is it.

The buyer or seller of the stock goes to the market( often goes online) to see the price of a particular stock they are interested in and then uses a licensed stock market broker to buy or sell the stock on their behalf. This way the market is run ethically and honestly and the broker is held responsible for the transfer of your shares.

To read more about how it all works just click on the "how the stock market works" link at the top menu.

The team here at stock market class hope you find the information provided a useful and interesting resource. We of course will be adding even more useful information and links in the not to distant future.
