Jamaica Stock Exchange trip

Good night all the class trip to JSE was very informative and interesting and as such I'm now watching the business section on the news instead of skipping the channel lol.  Because of this trip I am now aware of some of the terms used in the business section for instance:

a stock exchange is a marketplace where shares are bought and sold electronically under strict regulations. Also the JSE is a public limited liability company and the role of it's board members are to set guidelines of operations at the exchange, and to ensure that the market and members operate at the highest standard.

During the trip I learnt that there are 2 types of shares:

ordinary shares
preference shares

Before one invests in stock he or she should do recent on the company and seek professional help. Once you have monitored the company, received professional help you can go ahead and contact a stock broker this information can be from the Jamaica Stock Exchange.

Persons can also change stock brokers by informing their stock broker and at that respect the current stock broker and new stock broker will both have to sign forms to switch stock brokers.


For more information on JSE please visit their website  - http://www.jamstockex.com/  here you can also follow Jamaican and international companies registered with the JSE.

Peace out all blog you soon. Please leave your comments and I'll blog you back as soon as I can
