4. Introduction to the Three Major Exchanges
The biggest difference between US and Taiwanese stocks is that, Taiwan stocks are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, while US stocks are dispersed across three major exchanges. Each operates independently, so opening, closing, and prices may vary slightly.
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
The NYSE is the world’s largest stock exchange by total market capitalization of listed securities, with over 3,500 listed stocks. Currently, it mainly uses electronic trading, but floor trading still plays an important role, especially for setting prices and handling large institutional trades.
NASDAQ
NASDAQ is the world’s first fully electronic securities market, distinguished from NYSE by being a virtual exchange rather than a physical location. Investors mainly trade via phone or internet. NASDAQ-listed stocks are primarily high-tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, and other tech giants.
American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
The AMEX is the third-largest US trading market, similar in operation to NYSE. Its特色在於挂牌股票主要為中小盤股票,同時也是唯一能同時進行股票、期貨和衍生品交易的交易所。2008年被紐約交易所合併後,現更名為NYSE American。
