editThe primary market is an investment market; the money goes to the company. The secondary market is a speculative market; money does not reach the company, it merely pays off the gamble made by speculative investors and pure speculators.
- But it is an investment for the buyer of the security and the company not only cares where it sends the dividends, share holders also control the company. Nshuks7 (talk) 19:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

It looks like Financial Instruments is the only term required to avoid redundancy and confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.83.42.136 (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
