Answer key

1 Bells sound.Lighted messages appear.Men and women work at computers.They talk on the telephone.At times they shout and run around.
2 This noisy place is a stock exchange.Here expert salespeople called brokers buy and sell shares of companies.The shares are known as stocks.People who own stock in a company,own part of that company.
3 People pay brokers to buy and sell stocks for them.If a company earns money,its stock increases in value.If the company does not earn money,the stock decreases in value.
4 Brokers and investors carefully watch for any changes on the Big Board.That is the name given to a list of stocks sold on the New York Stock Exchange.
5 The first written use of the word with that meaning was in a newspaper in Illinois in 1837.It said:"The sales on the board were $1,700 in American gold."
6 Investors and brokers watch the Big Board to see if the stock market is a bull market or a bear market.In a bear market,prices go down.In a bull market,prices go up.
