Do u know about Stock Exchange

The Stock Exchange is the avenue by which people who desire to sell stocks and shares, and those who want to buy, undertake their transactions. Buying and selling of stocks and shares(dealings) are normally undertaken by professionals called brokers or jobbers, either buying or selling on behalf of their clients or for themselves. Stocks and shares are one of the savest means of investment if the portfolio is properly selected. Most big multinational companies (blue-chips) offer very safe and profitable instruments. The benefits come in the form of high dividend payouts and bonus share issues to the shareholders. Some smaller quoted companies are also good to invest in. However, there are times when micro- or macroeconomic situations badly affect the performance of a company or a group of them, making the share values to fall. The shareholders involved will obviously suffer a loss.
