The different stock exchanges have different requirements for listing.  Some of the different requirements are capitalization, # of shares, price per share, revenues, stockholders equity, # of shareholders and # of market makers.\n\nIn the past the NYSE was considered the premier market and had much higher requirements.  The NASDAQ had lower requirements and was thought of as a proving ground for up and coming companies.  As the popularity of the stock markets has increased and as volumes increased, the NASDAQ has closed the gap attracting top companies such as MSFT, INTC and AAPL.  Some companies also prefer the liquidity of the market making system (NASDAQ) than the specialist, auction system of the NYSE.\n\nFor more info, go to www.nyse.com and www.nasdaq.com and read the listing requirements of both exchanges.

It changes constantly.\n\nBid prices are the outstanding buy orders.\nOffer prices are the outstanding sell orders.\n\nIf the lowest offer matches the highest bid, a trade is made.  If there is a gap, say, the highest bid is 1,90 and the lowest offer is 1,94 , that means that there is currently no-one prepared to pay more than 1,90 to buy, and no-one prepared to accept less than 1,94 to sell.  There will be no trade unless:\n1) someone places a "market" order, ie buy/sell at the current bid/offer prices\n2) someone places a high bid matching the low offer, (or v.v.).\n\nSometimes there is no spread.  Bid and offer match, (with high volumes).  Sometimes the spread can be enormous , and sometimes it can even be negative...

Market capitalization is the amount a company is worth according to the market (i.e., the stock market). It is calculated by taking the number of shares of the stock outstanding (there are a certain number of shares that can be bought and sold on the market) and multiplying it by the price of that stock.\n\nFor example, say Company A has 1 Million shares of stock outstanding. The price of the stock closes at $5.00 at the end of trading today. The Market Capitalization is 1 Million x $5.00 = $5 Million.
