9. В заключение, и это важн о еще раз подчеркнуть, сами

Их интересы всегда представляют либо банк, либо холдинговая

или брокерская компании, являющиеся членами

биржи. Членство стои т денег; кроме того, нужно

иметь безупречную (impeccable, spotless) репутацию.

Простой покупатель или фирма могут судить о положении

дел на бирже по публикуемому ежедневно индексу.

Например, для Нью-Йоркс кой фондовой биржи это

индекс Доу-Джонса (средняя цена акций тридцати наиболее

известных компаний , внесенных в реестр этой

биржи).

18.7.1. Reading (skimming, scanning for subject and language study)

18.7.1.1. Read the text “Stock Exchange” and make a synopsis of it in written form and show the

economic importance of stock exchanges.

Stock Exchange

By stock exchange we usually mean a market in which securities are bought and sold. There are

stock exchanges in most capital cities, as well as in the larger provincial cities, in many countries.

The largest in terms of market capitalization is the New York Stock Exchange, followed by London.

Other important markets include the Tokyo Stock Exchange, NASDAQ (over-the-counter

market), and the Association of Exchanges of the Federal Republic of Germany (Deutsche Borse).

Continental European exchanges are often referred to as bourses (Fr.).

The economic importance of stock exchanges is that they facilitate saving and investment, first

by making it possible for investors to dispose of securities quickly if they wish to do so, and secondly

In channelling savings into productive investment. Ready marketability requires that new issues

(new-issue market) should be made or backed by reputable borrowers or institutions, that information

should be available on existing securities, and that there should be both a legal framework

and market rules to prevent fraud and sharp practice (Financial Services Act 1986). Stock exchanges

have their own rules and conventions, but their functioning depends also on the existence

of company and other law and financial intermediaries, such as the issuing houses. In recent years

stock exchanges have been deregulated and many trading floors have given way to electronic trading

systems. Trading in many securities is now a global market.

The British Stock Exchange, founded in 1773, developed from informal exchanges in coffee

houses in the City of London. The London Stock Exchange’s official title is The International

Stock Exchange. It is managed by a council of member firms. Members are formed into a declining

number of firms now including major merchant banks, the clearing banks and other financial intermediaries,

many of which are foreign-owned. Business is still conducted by word of mouth, but

the traditional trading floor where broker-dealers gathered to buy and sell closed following the Big

Bang. The bulk of business is conducted between members by telephone and, for small transactions,

dealing can be carried out automatically by electronic means (CREST). The Stock Exchange

Automated Quotation (SEAQ) service allows market makers and others to see competing quotations

on their screens and stockbrokers to select the best bid/offer for their clients. A new system,

Stock Exchange Trading System (SETS), based on the SEQUENCE platform, allows electronic

matching of buy and sell orders.
