A '''stock market''' is a list of [[stock|stocks]], or jointly held and publicly traded shares of a [[corporation]]s.  The stocks usually bear some relation to each other: for example, in America, the [[Dow Jones Industrial Average]] market is a list of heavy industry and traditional American companies, whereas the [[Nasdaq]] consists mostly of technology-based stocks.
