OBJETIVOS ESPECÍFICOS - Identificar cómo se formó la Bolsa de Valores. - Distinguir entre los dos mercados principales de E.E.U.U. - Analizar la importancia del intercambio de acciones en New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) - Analizar la importancia del papel que juega la Bolsa en diversos aspectos como la economía, la empresa y el individuo. 1.3. BOLSA DE VALORES Y FINANCIAMIENTO La mercancía básica del sistema financiero es el dinero. El dinero sirve como intercambio donde todas las formas de dinero que se han utilizado han sido desde cacao, plata, oro, dientes de ballena, piedras, pero éstas han llegado a la obsolescencia. Entre las tres grandes funciones el dinero es reconocido como un medio de cambio, que a la vez representa una medida de valor y como una forma de mantener riqueza. El dinero se puede representar en tres formas: dinero en efectivo, dinero en cuentas corrientes y dinero electrónico. La función de concentrar, reproducir, reciclar y multiplicar el dinero está a cargo del sistema financiero. En el sistema financiero es donde se compra, se fija el precio y donde se vende el dinero. Al ser el dinero un factor de intercambio, la eficiencia de éste es para generar bienestar lo cual depende de un sistema financiero que opere con transparencia, fluidez y orden. 1.4.
