After a company issues its securities either in an IPO or subsequent issues, What if an investor needs money or wants to en-cash the profits made by the company or wants to stop ongoing losses in the investment?

Secondary stock markets have been set up around the world almost in all countries to facilitate an investor to sell his securities to another interested investor.

Unlike IPOs where the offer price is fixed while issuing, here the rates are market driven. Which means a share can trade at a price agreed between the buyer and the seller.

Some of the stock exchanges are New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, London stock exchange, Paris Stock Exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange.
