Stock exchange is a place for buying and selling of shares in a secondary market.
Stock exchanges constitute a market for trading in the existing listed securities
and they also facilitate listing of new securities for trading. They also provide a
reasonable degree of safety and fair dealings to the investors. Stock exchanges
are perhaps the most crucial agents and facilitators of entrepreneurial progress.
After the industrial revolution, as the size of business enterprises grew, it was no
longer possible for proprietors or partnerships to raise colossal amount of money
required for undertaking large entrepreneurial ventures. Such huge requirement of
capital could only be met by the participation of a very large number of investors;
their numbers running in to hundreds, thousands and even millions, depending on
the size of business venture. A share represents the smallest recognized fraction
of ownership in a publicly held business. Each such fraction of ownership is
represented in the form of a certificate known as a share certificate. The breaking
up of total ownership of a business into small fragments, each fragment
represented by a share certificate, enables them to be easily bought and sold.
Some stock exchanges in India are voluntary non-profit making associations,
while some others are joint stock companies limited by shares. The government
is now moving towards demutualization of all the stock exchanges.
Demutualization would mean that the ownership and Management of the stock
exchanges would be separated. It is decided that the stock exchanges will now
be joint stock companies. In NSE, this has already been done and BSE is
expected to follow suit shortly. The BSE is likely to make ownership public by
issue of shares, which can be listed and traded.

1) Stock exchange is a place for ______ and _______ of shares in a secondary market.

A) Buying
B) Selling
C) Marketing
D) Advertising

2) Stock Exchanges also provide a reasonable degree of ________ and ______

dealings to the investors.
