A more thorough explanation:

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS AUTOMATED

The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, also known as NASDAQ, is a computerized system that records transactions and displays price quotations for a group of actively traded securities on the over-the-counter market.

Some examples of securities that are traded on NASDAQ include Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), and Facebook Inc. (FB).

When you look up a stock on a financial website or app, you may see the stock's current price listed as the NASDAQ price. This is because NASDAQ is one of the major stock exchanges in the United States, along with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

NASDAQ is a system that allows investors to buy and sell stocks in a computerized marketplace. The system records all transactions and displays the current price of each stock in real-time. This makes it easier for investors to make informed decisions about buying and selling stocks. The examples illustrate how NASDAQ is used to trade stocks and how it is one of the major stock exchanges in the United States.
