Answer 1

1. Establishing a market to raise capital through institutions through a centralized trading area that links capital savers with those who want to raise capital. Trading on Wall Street can occur in many ways, including but not limited to issuing bonds or selling equity in a company by issuing stocks. Wall Street makes capitalism work by transferring money quickly to the most profitable uses — with the help of government regulations

2. Facilitating a secondary market for current stock and bond owners to find parties willing to buy their securities so they can collect cash. Such facilitation makes markets more efficient, as investors become more assured that their investments can be used as a source of liquidity. As a consequence, there is typically competition for lower risk premiums.

Trading on all sorts of markets, including the Wall Street stock and bond markets, entails a variety of variables and processes that influence prices. You will consider market makers at the center of all trading exchanges. To promote the flow of money and trade, these market makers, also known as broker-dealers, are incorporated into the trading network.

Generally, most investors assume that traded stock values are dependent on factors such as shifts in management, news reports, and corporate behavior. What many investors are still unaware of is that market producers and the supply and demand for a traded security on any given day may also have a significant effect on a security. Market participants come in different ways, from individuals on the trading floors to electronic communications networks. Any deal on an exchange needs a counterparty willing to take the trade on the opposite side. Market makers act as a go-between, and receive a small fee in the process for their support.
