  A   stock market ,   equity market , or   share market   is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of   stocks   (also called shares), which represent   ownership   claims on businesses; these may include   securities   listed on a public   stock exchange , as well as stock that is only traded privately, such as shares of private companies which are sold to   investors   through   equity crowdfunding   platforms. Investment in the stock market is most often done via   stockbrokerages   and   electronic trading platforms . Investment is usually made with an   investment strategy   in mind. Stocks can be categorized by the country where the company is domiciled. For example, Nestlé and Novartis are domiciled in Switzerland and traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange, so they may be considered as part of the Swiss stock market, although the stocks may also be traded on exchanges in other countries, for example, as American depositary receipts (ADRs) on U.S. stock markets.
