Does The Stock Market Work?  Before one can understand what it
means to invest in the market, they have to know and understand how the stock
market works.The primary stock market provides
a great opportunity to the issuers of stocks, to raise resources to meet their
investment requirements and discharge certain obligations and liabilities. A
company usually lists its shares in the primary market through an Initial
Public Offering (IPO). Through an Initial Public Offering, a company sells its
shares for the first time to the public. An IPO is open for a particular period
of time. Within this window the traders can easily bid the shares and also buy
them at the issue price which is announced by the company. Once the
subscription period comes to an end, the shares are allotted to the bidders and
it is offered to the general public.The last step involves the listing
of the company on the stock market, which means that the stocks issued during
the IPO can now freely be bought and sold by the public. The secondary stock
market is a place where the shares of a company are traded after being
initially offered to the public in the primary market. It is a marketplace
where buyers and sellers meet directly.  
Once listed on the stock
exchanges, the stocks issued by companies can be traded in the secondary market
to either make profits or to cut losses.One can earn from the stocks that
are bought in two ways; first through the dividends which are paid by the
company to its shareholders. The second way is by earning through the
appreciation of the company.It is a well known fact that stock market
business is risky. It is estimated that only a small percentage of the people
become highly successful in the stock market business, while the remaining
people lose most of their investment. One has to invest time to understand the
stock market, and acquire the relevant skills. These skills are acquired by
