Answer: QOTW - 6


Primary Markets: The initial market that securities come from is called the “primary market.”
In order for a stock to be considered in the primary market, the company or other entity must distribute it themselves. 
The primary market is also unique that the initial buyer is the only person who can exchange the securities for funds. 
So, basically, primary markets are not “exchanges” like you will see on Wall Street or BSE.  

Secondary Markets: When you hear about the BSE or New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges you are talking about secondary markets. 
These markets are used for trading stocks between persons and other entities that may purchase them. Needless to say, people involved in the secondary market usually are the ones who buy the securities in the primary markets anyway. 
Rising and falling stocks allow for investors to accumulate more money. 
In this process, it assists the companies which originally sold the securities in receiving some sort of profit that they can put back into the company or create more securities.
