There is little difference between share market and stock market. However most of the people do not know this basic difference.
- The share market is a place where shares are either traded or issued.
- Whereas stock market is similar to share market except that in share market only trading of shares are allowed, while in stock market trading of shares, derivatives, bonds, commodities, mutual funds etc. takes place.
- There are two kinds of share market, the Primary market and the secondary market.
- Two important stock exchanges in India are the NSE (National Stock Exchange) and the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange).
