What is the secondary market?

The secondary market is where investors trade shares that are already listed, like on the NSE or the BSE. 

Here, you’re not buying from the company, you’re buying from other investors. 

This market keeps your investment liquid, meaning you can sell shares and get money anytime. It’s vital for discovering a stock’s real value. 

Even though companies don’t earn from these trades, active trading makes their stock attractive to future investors. It also reflects public trust in the company’s future.
