What Is The Basic Definition Of A "Stock Market"?

[Good-Person]

In a layman's language stock market is a place where stocks are traded. It is a place where an ordinary investor may invest a good amount of money and buy shares in order to sell it in the stock market. So, do you think that this definition alone is enough to define a stock market?

A network of exchanges where stocks as well as additional financial instruments are exchanged makes up the stock market. When a business chooses to go public and issue stocks, it is basically selling the general public ownership in the business.
