History

The first modern stock trading was created in Amsterdam when the Dutch East India Company was the first publicly traded company. To raise capital, the company decided to sell stock and pay dividends of the shares to investors. Then in 1611, the Amsterdam stock exchange was created. Today, virtually every country in the world has its own stock market.

From Switzerland to Japan, all the world’s major economic powers have highly developed stock markets which are still active today
