什么是納斯達克
[ 2008-02-27 17:21 ]
The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchanges in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock. 納斯達克（NASDAQ）是全美證券交易協(xié)會自動報價系統(tǒng)的首字母縮略詞。它是當今世界上最大的股票交易市場之一。納斯達克（NASDAQ）名下的上市公司在數(shù)量上超過了包括紐約證券交易所（NYSE）和美國證券交易所（AMEX）在內(nèi)的任何一家美國證券交易所。與紐約證券交易所（NYSE）和美國證券交易所（AMEX）的多數(shù)上市公司相比，在納斯達克（NASDAQ）上市的大多數(shù)公司規(guī)模較小。納斯達克（NASDAQ）已經(jīng)成為新技術(shù)公司——尤其是計算機和與計算機相關(guān)行業(yè)——的基地。納斯達克（NASDAQ）的交易是通過代表客戶利益的股票經(jīng)紀人發(fā)起的。這些經(jīng)紀人與專注特定股票買賣的市場期票出票人進行協(xié)商以確定股票的價格。
Unlike other stock exchanges, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter. 與其他證券交易有所不同，納斯達克（NASDAQ）沒有股票交易的中心交易場所。它的市場期票出票人遍及全美各地，通過電話和國際互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進行交易。由于股票交易是由經(jīng)紀人和市場期票出票人直接進行，而不是在股票交易大廳內(nèi)進行的，因此，納斯達克（NASDAQ）被稱為買賣雙方直接交易市場。該術(shù)語指出了其交易的直接性質(zhì)，就如同在商店柜臺直接進行商品的買賣一樣。
Since its inception in l97l, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled. Now poised to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership. 自1971年誕生之日起，納斯達克（NASDAQ）股票市場就成了產(chǎn)業(yè)內(nèi)的革新者。作為世界上第一家電子股票交易市場，納斯達克（NASDAQ）早就史無前例地進行了技術(shù)交易的創(chuàng)新。現(xiàn)在納斯達克（NASDAQ）已穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地成為世界第一家真正意義上的全球股票交易市場，是全球產(chǎn)業(yè)界領(lǐng)袖的首選市場。通過提供一個有效的融資環(huán)境，納斯達克（NASDAQ）已經(jīng)幫助了成百上千家公司完成了其市值的預期增長，同時也成功地、跨越式地實現(xiàn)了公司股權(quán)的公眾所有。
