List of Stock Exchanges
A stock exchange is simply a market that is designed for the sale and purchase
of securities of corporations and municipalities. A stock exchange sells and
buys stocks, shares, and other such securities.
Being able to consult a list of stock exchanges when you are investing is a
useful way to determine how the stock market is doing. Consulting a stock
exchange listing can also give you a quick view of the types of stocks and
investments you can make. The international stock exchange is very complex, and
the investor looking at the New York Stock Exchange listing is likely to have a
very different way of looking at investments and the stock market in general.
This is because each stock exchange world wide is affected by local events. For
example an exchange in America may be affected by a local political issue that
does not affect an Asian exchange.
Also, each of the international exchanges has different qualifications for
listings and so offers different stocks and securities. Even online stock
exchanges, presumably less affected by borders than their building-based
counterparts, will often differ in their listings and their stability. Staying
abreast of various stock exchanges can help you become a better investor.
Bombay Stock Exchange
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is located in Mumbai, and is considered one of
the oldest stock exchanges in Asia, as it dates back to 1875. The exchange lists
3500 companies with a capital of $466 billion. This exchange is considered among
the 6 largest in the world.

that do not qualify for listings with the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange
often qualify for a listing on the AMEX.
Euronext N.V
Euronext N.V. is a stock exchange that is pan-European, and in this it is unique
in that it tends to ignore borders. Several European countries have stock
exchanges that are subsidiaries of Euronext.. Euronext offers information and
clearing services as well as stock exchange and securities exchange services.

Brussels, and Amsterdam in response to the merging of European money markets in
2000.

exchanges on the global list of stock exchanges. Based in New York City, the

understanding of the key players on the stock exchange market. Knowing the major
