Press Release Body = Stock Exchange
A stock exchange, share market or bourse is a corporation or mutual organization
which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade company stocks and
other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for the issue and
redemption of securities, as well as, other financial instruments and capital events
including the payment of income and dividends. The securities traded on a stock
exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled
investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock
exchange, it has to be listed there. Usually there is a central location at least
for recordkeeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as
modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of speed and
cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering
of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and
subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. A stock exchange is often the
most important component of a stock market. Supply and demand in stock markets is
driven by various factors which, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks
(see stock valuation).

There is usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange itself, nor
must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off
exchange or over-the-counter. This is the usual way that bonds are traded.
Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market for securities.
