This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and CFP designation.

In this episode you will learn: - The core function of the primary market as the source of new capital for issuers. - How an Initial Public Offering (IPO) serves as a classic example of a primary market transaction. - The defining characteristic of the secondary market: trades between investors with no proceeds going to the original issuer. - The clear transition point where a security moves from the primary to the secondary market. - A simple memory aid: "Primary means Proceeds" to distinguish between the two market types on the exam.
