A stock exchange, share market or bourse is a corporation or mutual organization which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade company stocks and other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for the issue and redemption of securities as well as other financial instruments and capital events including the payment of income and dividends. The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. Usually there is a central location at least for recordkeeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of speed and cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. A stock exchange is often the most important component of a stock market. Supply and demand in stock markets is driven by various factors which, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks (see stock valuation).
There is usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange itself, nor must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off exchange or over-the-counter. This is the usual way that bonds are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market for securities

Bank of England Raises Rates
The Bank of England raised interest rates for the second time in as many months yesterday, to 5.75%. As a result, the UK has widened its lead over the US as the country with the highest interest rates in the industrialized world, after New Zealand. Moreover, the UK is becoming an increasingly viable alternative to the US as a target for risk-averse investors. The British Pound is hovering around a record high against the USD, which can probably expect to suffer prolonged decline against the world’s majors if it falls behind in attracting risk-free foreign capital. The Financial Times reports:
“The statement accompanying the rate hike gives few firm clues as to future interest rate movements, with the Bank of England…concluding that the risks to the inflation outlook are still tilted to the upside.”

How To Increase Forex Profits 100% in 10 minutes
This simple exercise will increase Forex profits 100% and works for 99% of all short-term FX traders – stop trading so much – widen out your stops – widen out your profit targets – and only trade in the direction of the trend indicated by 4 hour chart.
1) Stop trading so much
Sure there are no commissions but the spreads are HUGE and believe it or not (well you’ll believe it after you do the simple exercise below) the spreads are reducing your profits 100%!
2) Widen out your stops
Initial stop loss should be a minimum of 23 points; I use between 23 and 35 point stop losses for short-term trading.
3) Widen out your profit targets
Unless you think a trade can make you 100 points or more don’t do it.
4) Only trade in the direction of the 4 hour chart
The real money is made in the direction of the trend
Simple exercise
1) Download all your trades for the year into an excel spreadsheet (if you don’t know how to do this ask your broker for help).
2) Determine the dollar value of the spread for each trade.
3) Sum up the total dollar value of all spreads for all trades and add this number it to your current account balance; this is your spread adjusted account balance.
4) Take your spread adjusted current account balance and divide it by your opening balance at beginning of year; the result will be a percentage change.
5) Take your actual current account balance and divide it by your opening balance at beginning of year; the result will be a percentage change.
6) Subtract your spread adjusted year to date percentage change from your actual year to date percentage change.
7) That number should be 100% or more
8) Take the necessary steps as outlined above (1 to 4) and improve your results 100%
