How to find seller and buyer when we place buy and sell orders

Hello all,

When you buy a stock, someone is there to sell it and vice versa. But is there any way to understand who has actually bought and sold stocks to you? I think exchange does not provide this information.

I think even if you buy a house/car, being a new owner you understand who the seller is. Why this picture is not so clear when it comes to stock?

Sorry If I have a limited knowledge.

There is no need to. With car/house, you are yourself responsible to execute the whole trade / paperwork. Here the exchange takes care for you (and in some cases even guarantees the trade)
