Sow My Seeds

There are 3 major stock exchanges in the US: the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), AMEX (American Stock Exchange) and NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers).

1. NYSE
The NYSE is the largest American stock exchange by volume and it lists companies from around the world.

2. AMEX
The AMEX is a smaller exchange than NYSE, and is typically favored by smaller companies which cannot meet NYSE's strict listing and reporting requirements.

3. NASDAQ
The NASDAQ is traditionally heavy with technology stocks, since the exchange was friendly to tech startups in the early days.

All 3 exchanges are available on the Lim & Tan Online Trading Platform/ Mobile Apps:




US STOCK MARKET INDEXES

In Singapore, we have the Straits Times Index (STI Index) as our most-widely used index.

In the US, the most broadly followed indexes are the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite. These indexes can be readily found on news websites such as CNBC, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN, Market Watch. I generally like to use CNBC.
