Stock Exchanges
Provide valuable stock investing information!
Stock exchanges can be a source of much valuable information for the value investor.
They commonly offer stock investing advice in the form of a stock market course or a stock investment guide. As well, they provide stock market reports and stockmarket quotes.
Trading hours vary from country to country depending on the time zones, and also within countries because of time zones and daylight saving.
In Australia the ASX normally opens from 10 am to 4 pm, but is affected by daylight saving between October and March, depending on where you live.
So anytime during the day or night there will be an exchange open somewhere around the world. Stock market trading online is now a reality for investing in a global marketplace.
Free online stockmarket games are also provided that may incorporate a stockmarket simulator. The Australian stock exchange offers both a schools sharemarket game and a public sharemarket game using 'real time' stockmarket prices.
Besides controlling share trading, exchanges may also trade other financial instruments including ...
- options
- warrants
- futures
- contracts for difference (CFDs)
- listed managed investments
- emissions trading
- self managed super funds
as well as providing courses in how to trade some of the above.
However, none other than listed managed investments interest me as they tend to be speculative in nature.
Free services may include watchlists, a stockmarket newsletter, classes, investment clubs and free downloadable sharemarket lessons. Stockmarket statistics may also be available.
Of course, it is in the interests of these institutions to provide these free services as the more people they can get involved with stocks, the more business they will generate.
So it is well worth your while to be aware of, and make use of the stockmarket data, including historical stock data, that is available from you local stock exchange.
