Where are shares of companies bought and sold on the main securities market?

• A. New York Stock Exchange
• B. AIM
• C. The London Stock Exchange
• D. NASDAQ

Answer: (C)

Trading of shares happens on stock exchanges, and the main market for established UK companies is the London Stock Exchange, specifically its Main Market. This is the primary venue where large, well-known companies list and have their shares bought and sold. The other options refer to different markets: AIM is the market for smaller, growing companies and isn’t the main market; the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ are major U.S. exchanges. So the London Stock Exchange is the best answer because it is the principal main market for shares in the UK.
