Cartoonists draw cartoons and photographers take pictures to match the stories. Foreign editors check the language. On Thursday, page designers put the stories, cartoons and pictures on the pages.

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and want to try their luck and become rich enough to buy a larger flat. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money.
