What is share market?

What is share market?

A share market or equity market is a public (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete) entity for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.

The size of the world share market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the start of October 2008. The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion face or nominal value, 11 times the size of the entire world economy. The value of the derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional values, cannot be directly compared to a stock or a fixed income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value. Moreover, the vast majority of derivatives 'cancel' each other out (i.e., a derivative 'bet' on an event occurring is offset by a comparable derivative 'bet' on the event not occurring). Many such relatively illiquid securities are valued as marked to model, rather than an actual market price.

basically there are many types of companies from which joint stock company is a type where the main owner has maximum amount of share that is 51 % and the rest is contibuted by the people ...as its a big company...
if we buy the shares:---
and company makes profit we get benefits
if it faces losses even we do
so share market is a place where u can make investment

Share market is a place or platform where you can buy a share of a companies
