Fourth market

the fourth market is kind of like a regular market, but instead of buying and selling goods and services, the fourth market is where people buy and sell stocks and bonds. When you buy and sell stocks and bonds, you are trading on the fourth market. This is different from the regular stock market, which is where stocks and bonds are usually sold and bought. The fourth market is a big part of the stock market, because it allows people to make money by buying and selling stocks and bonds.
