why are there more than just the new york stock exchange in america?
does the exchange of stocks affect the companies that offer that stock? for instance Macy’s West, retail company, has a big season coming up, the fall season, they project a 3% increase in retail sales, this fall season. their stock goes up, goes down, what does that to to macy’s west? if they had the best quarter ever, would their stock going down affect them?
hey great vids! thanx for all the usefull information!
one question, what is a bond!?
A bond is a slice of debt – meaning that if one buys a bond, typically one has effectively lent money to the issuer of the bond. This is in contrast to a stock where one is not lending but owning. Please check out videos 14 & 17.
