1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,862
What is the Stock Exchange
and how does it work?
2
00:00:03,626 --> 00:00:07,789
The Stock Exchange is nothing more
than a giant globally network
3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:13,465
tend to organize the market place where every day
huge sums of money are moved back and forth.
4
00:00:14,301 --> 00:00:19,233
In total over sixty trillion (60,000,000,000,000)
Euros a year are traded.
5
00:00:19,233 --> 00:00:23,799
More than the value of all goods and services
of the entire world economy.
6
00:00:24,612 --> 00:00:29,978
However it's not apples or second hand
toothbrushes that are traded on this marketplace.
7
00:00:29,978 --> 00:00:32,612
But predominantly securities.
8
00:00:32,612 --> 00:00:36,923
Securities are rights to assets,
mostly in the form of shares.
9
00:00:36,923 --> 00:00:39,703
A share stands for
a share in a company.
10
00:00:40,172 --> 00:00:42,980
But why are shares traded at all?
11
00:00:43,204 --> 00:00:47,655
Well, first and foremost the value of a share
relates to the company behind it.
12
00:00:47,655 --> 00:00:50,771
If you think the value of
a company in terms of a pizza.
13
00:00:50,771 --> 00:00:54,791
The bigger the overal size of the pizza,
the bigger every piece is.
14
00:00:55,396 --> 00:00:59,903
If for example Facebook is able to greatly
increase its profits with a new buisness model.
15
00:00:59,931 --> 00:01:05,813
The size of the companies pizza will also increase,
and as a result so will the value of its shares.
16
00:01:06,136 --> 00:01:09,003
This is of course great for the share holders.
17
00:01:09,003 --> 00:01:15,181
A share which perhaps used to be worth 38 euros
could now be worth a whole 50 euros.
18
00:01:15,181 --> 00:01:19,211
When it's sold this represents
a profit of twelve euro per share!
19
00:01:19,211 --> 00:01:21,610
But what does Facebook gain from this?
20
00:01:21,653 --> 00:01:26,504
The company can raise funds by selling
the shares and invest or expand it's buisness.
21
00:01:27,168 --> 00:01:32,359
Facebook, for example, has earned sixteen billion
dollars from it's listing on the Stock Exchange.
22
00:01:32,708 --> 00:01:35,890
The trading of shares though,
is frequently a game of chance.
23
00:01:35,890 --> 00:01:39,514
No one can say which company
will preform well and which will not.
24
00:01:39,824 --> 00:01:43,663
If a company has a good reputation,
investors will back it.
25
00:01:43,663 --> 00:01:48,626
A company with a poor reputation or poor
performance will have difficulty selling its shares.
26
00:01:49,869 --> 00:01:53,272
Unlike a normal market in which goods
can be touched and taken home
27
00:01:53,272 --> 00:01:56,767
on the Stock Exchange only
virtual goods are available.
28
00:01:57,945 --> 00:02:01,873
They apear in the form of share prices
and tables on monitors.
29
00:02:01,873 --> 00:02:05,178
Such shareprices can rise
or fall within seconds.
30
00:02:05,178 --> 00:02:09,565
Shareholders therefore have to act quickly
in order not to miss an opportunity.
31
00:02:09,781 --> 00:02:15,822
Even a simple rumor can result in the demand for
a share falling fast regardless of the real value of the company.
32
00:02:17,538 --> 00:02:20,133
Of course the opposite is also possible.
33
00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:23,113
If a particularly large number
of people buy weak shares.
34
00:02:23,113 --> 00:02:26,113
Because if they see for example
great potential behind an idea.
35
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:28,275
Their value will rise as a result.
36
00:02:28,275 --> 00:02:31,261
In particular young companies
can benefit from this.
37
00:02:31,261 --> 00:02:36,874
Even though their sales might be falling,
they can generate cash by placing their shares.
38
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:42,239
In the best case scenario this will result in
their idea being turned into reality.
39
00:02:42,455 --> 00:02:48,017
In the worst case scenario, this will result in a
speculative bubble with nothing more than hot air.
40
00:02:48,017 --> 00:02:51,943
And as the case with bubbles,
at some point, they will burst.
41
00:02:51,943 --> 00:02:57,590
The value of Germany's biggest thirty companies
is summarized in what is known as the DAX share index.
42
00:02:59,083 --> 00:03:02,283
The DAX shows how well or poorly
these major companies
43
00:03:02,283 --> 00:03:06,735
and there by the economy as a whole
are performing at the present time.
44
00:03:07,948 --> 00:03:11,526
Stock Exchange is in other countries
also have there own indices.
45
00:03:11,526 --> 00:03:16,624
And all of these markets together
create a globally networked marketplace.
46
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
