There are a variety of other investment strategies that utilize stock exchange securities. Some of these include short selling, bullish or bearish trading, and forex trading. Short selling is when an investor sells stock that is below the market value. The bearish strategy is when an investor buys a stock that is currently in a rising trend. Bullish trading is purchasing stock that is currently decreasing.
Other strategies that do not involve buying and selling stocks include day trading, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. There are a number of investors that use the stock market as their medium of exchange. For example, there are large groups of investors that deal solely with gold and silver.
When you trade on the exchange you are actually buying securities from anywhere from a handful of companies to hundreds or thousands of companies.

In this article we provided some basic information that hopefully provides you with a good foundation for your own research on the stock market. When you know the fundamentals of trading on the exchange, it will help you make better financial decisions.
The first thing you need to know is what the exchanges look at when valuing the securities in question. For example the NASDAQ and NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) evaluate the overall economic health of a company by looking at key indicators. One of these indicators is the P/E ratio, which measures the market value of a company based on the price per share divided by the total market cap. It's important to remember that the valuation of securities is not only based on the companies' profits and losses. Companies balance sheet is also evaluated by the exchanges in order to determine its liquidity.
On top of things such as the P/E ratio and liquidity companies are evaluated based on several other key economic indicators. The overall health of an economy is obviously an important factor for any company looking to raise capital. Another economic indicator that has been increasing in importance with investors is credit ratings. To the untrained eye many individual investors may not be able to determine if a company is worth investing in based solely on credit ratings but the large international investment banks and financial institutions are very good at this.
