Recognize the Different Types of Securities Markets
Securities markets are the markets in which securities, or financial assets, are traded. There are two different types of securities markets. The first type is known as the primary market: the primary market is used for trading newly issued securities. The second type of securities market is known as the secondary market: the secondary market is used for trading securities that have already been issued. Primary markets and secondary markets are generally used for trading equity securities.
