Why do people call it the "share market" and not the stock market?

Question

I'm guessing it's an English term.

Answer 1

i still call it stock market

but share market is the same you trade shares of company

Answer 2

shares are traded, not stock.

Answer 3

It is called a stockmarket. Or Stock Exchange (London Stock Exchange, NY stock exchange). Because companies' shares are traded there, some people call it , naturally, the sharemarket, although I haven't heard share exchange.

I think we all know what they mean.

Arjun; what does it mean now, then?

Answer 4

its because technically when ure buying so called stock ure buying shares which originally meant (ages ago when share concept first started)  you where buying a share of a company so u owned part of a company
