-	History of stock market trading in the United States can be traced back to over 200 years ago. Historically, the colonial government decided to finance the war by selling [[bond]]s, government notes promising to pay out at profit at a later date. Around the same time private banks began to raise money by issuing stocks, or shares of the company to raise their own money. This was a new market, and a new form of investing money, and a great scheme for the rich to get richer. In 1792, a meeting of twenty four large merchants resulted into a creation of a market known as the [[New York Stock Exchange]](NYSE). At the meeting, the merchants agreed to meet daily on [[Wall Street]] to daily trade stocks and [[bond]]s.	+	History of stock market trading in the United States can be traced back to over 200 years ago.
