Of Stocks, Stockholders And Stock Market
A copper mining enterprise Stora Kopparberg first introduced the
system of stock in the 13th century. The financial backers and
owners felt the need to raise money for investment in the new
projects of the same company so they started the method of stock
and shares. It was also required in order to ward off the threat
to the ownership rights if the company was sold, which would
mean complete loss of control.
The investors got the monetary support they were looking for and
at the same time solved ownership issues in case the company was
sold by granting stocks to the people. Plus, they sold a part to
people and still retained control over the company. Thus, the
owner had some portion of the assets, some power to make
decision conditionally. In return, they shared a part of the
profit with the stockowner as dividend.
Financially, stock implies the ownership or share in a
corporation. It gives the stockowner the right to claim a share
in the assets and income of the corporation. The two types of
stocks, preferred and common differ in many respects. The common
stock owners can vote at the shareholders' meetings whereas the
preferred stockowners cannot vote. Common stockowners get
dividends declared by the company, whereas preferred stock
owners have higher claim in assets and income of the company.
Preferred stock entitles the owner to have his dividends earlier
than the common stock owner. Preferred stock owner gets the
priority when the company
goes bankrupt. Besides these two, the
other types of stock are dual class shares and treasury stock.
A stockowner is not liable to losses in case the company closes
and has loans to pay back. The loss of the stockholders is
limited to the money that would have been made by converting the
assets into cash since all the money would be used to repay the
loans to the creditors.
A stock exchange is the place where trading of shares is carried
out. Individuals and companies sell and purchase shares on a
large scale. Generally, a particular company trades only in one
specific market and is said to be on the list of that particular
stock exchange. However, big multinational companies can be
listed on many stock exchanges. This is called inter-listed
shares.
There are various methods to buy or sell finance stocks, but the
commonest among them is through the mediator called stockbroker,
who actually transfers the shares from one owner to another.
Stocks can be bought directly from the company also.
The stock market of a country is an indicator of its economy,
which just goes to show the growth and power of the stock
market.
