The United States Stock Market In the world today, people buy and sell to make a living. The American stock market is a great example of what it is like to buy and sell. The saying of the stock market is “buy low, sell high”. That means you buy a stock at a low price and sell it when it gets to a high price. There are two main stock exchanges.

The major lessons that were illustrated by the collapse of Enron and other corporate scandals will be the morality play of the new economy.

Regulation of the Stock Market The Enrons and Worldcoms made it clear that the financial markets cannot be left under the auspices of corporate directors and officers, without oversight authority. "The corporate abuses and fraud that Enron exemplified, while not a first in the financial markets, they were certainly a first in terms of the magnitude of the losses to stockholders and the confidence the public reposed in the financial sector (Bequai 2003)."

The ten years following the crash constitute the span of the Great Depression. While it is certain
