Execution of Orders and Liquidation

The stock exchange agencies do all the paperwork for one. In fact, all these services pass unnoticed to the investors; they only notice them when there is an occasional mistake.

In most cases, once one has opened an account at a stock exchange agency, all one has to do is call the agent and explain the operation one wishes to carry out. The agent will usually return the call a few minutes later to confirm the execution of ones order. The securities have been certainly bought or sold, but the only thing one has to notice is the short return call from the agent. One?s intervention in the contracting mechanism is easy and simple (Of course, the buying or selling decision is not that simple. The question if the market is going to fall or rise, or if it will be tomorrow or next week that of which securities to buy, or which would be the right price or when to sell them are treated on subsequent sections). But if one wishes, now one does not even have to talk to any person to give them the order to buy or sell. Now it is possible to pay a lower cost for commissions through Internet, but one takes a greater risk by making operations without having to talk to anybody.

When one gives an order to a stock exchange agent one does not see everything that happens behind the scenes. At the moment of receiving the order, the agent registers it on a print. After talking to one the print goes to the agencies orders office, whose personnel is in charge of executing the order. From this point on, a series of liquidation operations happen: the securities are paid for and the name of the buyer is registered.

From there on, the securities certificates are sent to the new owner or well are deposited at the stock exchange agency. All the paperwork that is done following the established federal laws and other legal dispositions are done out of the sight of the client.

By giving these orders execution service, liquidation and others, the stock exchange agencies make possible for millions of investors to act on a daily basis at the stock exchange market.
