online trading?

I was wondering if you were with an online stock trading company and if you wanted to buy or sell stocks with that company, are you only selling and buying it to that company or is it shared with all the companies and regular people at the NYSE? I ask this question because there are many online trading websites, and wondered if one has more people than the either.

1. What online trading companies do for you is:
1. They take you in "real time" to different trading floors so that you can buy and sell stocks just like the "floor screamers" yelling "Buy" or "Sell" on NYSE or on Nasdaq.
2. They help you keep track of your stocks in a brokerage account, just like banks do for you money.

For these services the online trading companies charge you a nominal fee for every transaction.

2. A trading company is just a broker or an intermediary within the exchange. They just link buyers and sellers using technology of online trading. You dont buy or sell with that company. Imagine, you are holding a stock and at the other end, I am waiting to buy that share. How do we buy or sell. The broker simply lists the availability of the share over the system and at the other end, a buyer is intimated about the availability thru the same system. so the trading company just place the role like ebay or online shopping. all traders in the exchange are intimated about availability of shares thru the online trading companies. At times, with special rights, the same company can buy or sell shares for its ownself. Overall, they just connect investors for a fee called brokerage. In a secondary market, shares are traded amongst investors, not companies which issue them

3. "How to begin investing online trading.

Reading online investing literature should be done before investing online. The online companies have teams of qualified and experienced research analysts who check reports, follow the latest news, trends and forecasts and who they have enough experience to give advice - direct to you over your computer.

Traditional investing and investing online trading.

Traditional investing usually require you to call a stockbroker, discuss the info he had on the company or companies of interest and then buy and ordering the stock. With traditional investing you would have a personal contact inside the stock market industry, who could guide you. This same support is not always as accessible if investing on line. Although it is possible to get personal advice through private message boards online. It is always a good idea to cross reference any tips you might get from an online forum for obvious reasons, for instance lack of expertise of the people advising you."
