how online trading works
Buying and selling stocks used to involve the rich people and brokers only. But with the advent of internet, online trading of stocks became a reality. Now, everybody who has access to a computer and has some cash can reap the rewards of stock trading. So how does online trading works? According to HowStuffWorks.com:
When you buy and sell stocks online, you’re using an online broker that largely takes the place of a human broker. You still use real money, but instead of talking to someone about investments, you decide which stocks to buy and sell, and you request your trades yourself. Some online brokerages offer advice from live brokers and broker-assisted trades as part of their service.
