Nounmarkets
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A market is any one of a variety of different systems, institutions, procedures, social relations and infrastructures whereby persons trade, and goods and services are exchanged, forming part of the economy. It is an arrangement that allows buyers and sellers to exchange things. Competition is essential in markets, and separates market from trade. Two persons may trade, but it takes at least three persons to have a market, so that there is competition on at least one of its two sides. Markets vary in size, range, geographic scale, location, types and variety of human communities, as well as the types of goods and services traded. Some examples include local farmers' markets held in town squares or parking lots, shopping centers and shopping malls, international currency and commodity markets, legally created markets such as for pollution permits, and illegal markets such as the market for illicit drugs. In mainstream economics, the concept of a market is any structure that allows buyers and sellers to exchange any type of goods, services and information. The exchange of goods or services for money is a transaction. Market participants consist of all the buyers and sellers of a good who influence its price. This influence is a major study of economics and has given rise to several theories and models concerning the basic market forces of supply and demand. There are two roles in markets, buyers and sellers. The market facilitates trade and enables the distribution and allocation of resources in a society. Markets allow any tradable item to be evaluated and priced. A market emerges more or less spontaneously or is constructed deliberately by human interaction in order to enable the exchange of rights (cf. ownership) of services and goods. Historically, markets originated in physical marketplaces which would often develop into — or from — small communities, towns and cities. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License what is the difference between equities and commodities in share markets? Q. I am interested to invest money in share markets. I like to know the difference between equities and commodities. Asked by ram - Thu Nov 5 00:30:11 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Equities is a commonly used term for stock in a company. Examples would be stock in companies such as IBM, Microsoft, or Apple. Commodities are physical or tangible products which are sold typically through a contract for future delivery, or what we call futures. Examples would be soybean futures, corn futures, coffee, milk, butter, lumber, lean hogs, live cattle, etc. When you buy a stock, you are buying a small piece of ownership of a company, although the company just views you as an unsecured creditor, which is why the owners of GM stock were wiped out in the bankruptcy. When you buy a commodity futures contract, you are buying the obligation to take delivery of the physical goods unless you sell the futures contract to someone else… [cont.] Answered by Jimmy Jack - Thu Nov 5 03:51:26 2009 How might one use spot markets to obtain proection against foreign exchange risk? Q. What advantages do the forward markets have for this purpose? Asked by dolly - Fri Nov 21 08:52:34 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Spot markets can be used to transform any foreign currency into your spending currency immediately. If you live using US$ and received payment in say C$, then you use the spot market to get US$ so that if the C$ plunges tomorrow you are safe. Forward markets allow you to anticipate stuff. If you know you will be paid in 3 months in C$, there's nothing much you can do now on the spot market. However, you can go to the forward/futures market, and take a contract to sell C$ at a given rate. Then you are assured of how much US$ you will get in 3 months. Now the type of contract you take also affects what you get. You can take a futures contract, in which case you get the US$ you planned/are guaranteed in the contract. You can take an… [cont.] Answered by ekonomix - Fri Nov 21 21:55:00 2008 What's the difference between 'free markets' and markets?
Q. People refer to free markets all the time - what are they really talking about? Asked by Samwise - Fri Feb 20 13:22:50 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Market is just the economy. Free Markets mean little or no restrictions on what you can do in the economy. A free market is the opposite of a controlled or planned market, where the government makes the decisions about who can buy and sell what, and what prices will be. A free market lets people make the decisions they want to about buying and selling. So if you hear someone say "Let the free market work" or something like that, what they're saying is "Don't make a bunch of rules that get in the way, just let the natural buying and selling work itself out."
