                             How Do I Know When to Buy or Sell a Stock

If you are in the stock market participating in an active or passive way, the most difficult thing to
know is when do you buy or sell your stock. There are different types of players in the market. Some
believe in intraday trading, where people buy and sell stocks in a very short period of time in order to
make quick gains.

There are also people who trade in a pre-fixed schedule like every quarter. And there are also some
instances where people just want to buy and hold in order to make long term gains. These long term
investors are also known as value investors. These are few of the major approaches used by traders
and investors all around the world.

In order to know when to buy or sell, first one needs to understand the fundamentals of stocks and
how it operates. Stock form part of the equity investment done by the company and its shareholders.
Anyone who buys a share of a company e.g. Microsoft, means that individual is a partial owner of
Microsoft to the extent of the number of shares he’s got. If the company does well he’s bound to get
some gains out of it and in the opposite scenario he’s going to make losses.
There are a few things one needs to keep in mind while entering the stock market. Firstly try to find a
stock which is trading very near or at par to its book value. If you find these types of stocks buy them
only after learning a few facts about the company. Try to look into the company’s previous annual and
quarterly reports in order to get some idea about the company’s position. After completing the whole
research go ahead and buy the stock, as you will be getting it at a very low price.

Before buying make sure you find a brokerage house offering low brokerage rates, fast trading
facilities and a good research desk. While buying, make sure that you have a profit target. Try to
decide why you are making this investment. See to it that how the stock performs along with the
other investments made in your portfolio.

Depending on your investment goal decide how much risk you can bear. It can be for your retirement,
new home, car or even children’s college education. In case of a long term investment horizon you
can take higher risks as the probability of risk decreases as the time goes by. So in the end you can
buy shares at a low price and sell it depending upon your investment horizon. Here the chances of
gain are very high due to the low price of stocks during the initial stage of investment.

Once your profit target has been achieved get out of the trade as soon as you can. This is something a
lot of people don’t follow as they hold on to a stock when it is going through a bull-run. By following
this strategy you might make lesser gains but it will definitely save you from making further losses
down the line.

                              The History of the Chicago Stock Exchange

“I give you Chicago. It is not London and Harvard. It is not Paris and buttermilk. It is American in every
chitling and sparerib. It is alive from snout to tail.”
             - Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1965), American humor journalist.

Long before New York came into prominence, it was Chicago that defined American dynamism for
many a decade. Even today, in spite of the ascendancy of New York as the most important city in
world commerce, Chicago occupies a prominent place in American and international business.

In fact, Chicago's metropolitan area has the 4th largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of all
metropolitan areas in the world. The city has the second busiest airport in O’Hare, and in a 2010
survey collaboration between Foreign Policy and A.T Kearney ranking cities, Chicago ranked 6th in the
world.

The Chicago Stock Exchange, located at 440 South LaSalle Street, is the heart of Chicago commerce
and industry. In terms of trade, the Chicago Stock Exchange ranks fourth behind the New York Stock
Exchange, NASDAQ and the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The history of the Chicago Stock Exchange can be traced back to March 21, 1882, when a formal
meeting of business leaders and traders led to its formation. One month later, the Exchange moved to
its offices at at 115 Dearborn Street and 749 memberships were sold.

During World War I, the Exchange was closed for six months in 1914. In October 1915, the basis of
quoting and trading in stocks changed from percent to par value to dollars. The Chicago Stick Clearing
Corporation was established in 1920. This was followed by a stock market crash in 1929, leading to
the Great Depression.

In May 1933, the Securities Act of 1933 was enacted, bringing transparency to the trade of securities.
As a response to the Great Depression, the Securities and Exchange Commission was created by the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In 1949, the Chicago Stock Exchange merged with the exchanges of
St. Louis, Cleveland and Minneapolis/St. Paul to form the Midwest Stock Exchange. A decade later, the
New Orleans Stock Exchange joined the group.

In 1973 the Mid West Securities Trust Company was established to offer central depository for
securities certificates and to electronically record the transfer of stock ownership. This was followed
by the launch of the Intermarket Trading System in 1978 for the transfer of orders from one exchange
to another.

In 1982, the Exchange launched the MAX system, which allowed it to be one of the first stock
exchanges to provide fully automated order execution. In 1987, it implemented programs to trade
NASDAQ securities. In 1993 the Midwest Stock exchange regained its original name of the Chicago
Stock Exchange.

The 1990s and 2000s saw several new changes embracing new technologies and trades. In 1995,
securities settlement dates were shortened from five to three business days, with trading hours being
extended a year later. 1997 saw the beginning of trade in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Decimal pricing of all stocks was fully implemented in 2001. In 2005, the SEC approved a change of
the ownership structure of the Chicago Stock Exchange from a not-for-profit, member-owned
company to a for-profit, stockholder-owned corporation.

As is clearly seen, the Chicago Stock Exchange has adapted well to changes across the decades, and is
expected to remain at the forefront of American business for many years to come.

This was followed by a stock market crash in 1929, leading to the Great Depression. In May 1933, the Securities Act of 1933 was enacted, bringing transparency to the trade of securities. As a response to the Great Depression, the Securities and Exchange Commission was created by the
  • 3. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In 1949, the Chicago Stock Exchange merged with the exchanges of St. Louis, Cleveland and Minneapolis/St. Paul to form the Midwest Stock Exchange. A decade later, the New Orleans Stock Exchange joined the group. In 1973 the Mid West Securities Trust Company was established to offer central depository for securities certificates and to electronically record the transfer of stock ownership. This was followed by the launch of the Intermarket Trading System in 1978 for the transfer of orders from one exchange to another. In 1982, the Exchange launched the MAX system, which allowed it to be one of the first stock exchanges to provide fully automated order execution. In 1987, it implemented programs to trade NASDAQ securities. In 1993 the Midwest Stock exchange regained its original name of the Chicago Stock Exchange. The 1990s and 2000s saw several new changes embracing new technologies and trades. In 1995, securities settlement dates were shortened from five to three business days, with trading hours being extended a year later. 1997 saw the beginning of trade in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Decimal pricing of all stocks was fully implemented in 2001. In 2005, the SEC approved a change of the ownership structure of the Chicago Stock Exchange from a not-for-profit, member-owned company to a for-profit, stockholder-owned corporation. As is clearly seen, the Chicago Stock Exchange has adapted well to changes across the decades, and is expected to remain at the forefront of American business for many years to come.
