Investing in Stocks:
Remember, when you invest in Bonds you are lending money so this is a debt type investment.
In contrast, when you buy stock, you become part owner in the company you are investing in.
This is formalized by a printed form called a “stock certificate”.
How do you make money on stocks?
A lot of people are attracted by this type of investment but the risk of losing money is usually greater with stocks than with bonds.
If the business makes a profit, then part of the money may be used to pay stock holders a dividend.
A company must pay bondholders the rate of interest promised before paying any dividends on stock.
If there isn’t enough money left or the company wants to use the profit on expansion then stockholders get no money.
How do you make money on stocks?
If the company goes out of business, bondholders get back all or part of their investment.
In contrast, stock holders may lose all their money.
How are stocks priced?
Let’s say I decide to sell 500 shares of stock in my own business at $100.00 per share and state that dividends will be paid quarterly.
At the end of Quarter-1 I pay a 5% dividend on each share – that is $100.00 X .05 - $5.00
An article about my company comes out on the Maui News that says we made good profits.
What do you think will happen to the demand on those shares?
How are stocks priced? (Continued)
What do you think will happen to the price of my stock?
This is how the market value of stock is calculated.
The market value of stock is the price at which a share of stock is bought or sold in the stock market.
Market value may be affected by the state of the economy.
Market value of a particular stock may be affected by the perception of how well or how bad a company is doing.
Types of Stock:
Companies issue 2 main types of stock.
Preferred Stock
Common Stock
Preferred Stock:
Has priority over common stock for payment of dividends.
Owners are paid first if profits are used to pay any stock dividends.
Usually has priority on the return of amount invested if company goes out of business.
Less risky than common stock.
Dividends pay stockholders are limited to a set rate.
Owners generally have no voting rights within the corporation.
Common Stock:
Has no stated dividend rate.
Common stockholders are invited to vote at annual meetings, one vote per share.
If company profits are large, common stockholders may receive more in dividends than preferred stockholders.
$100,000 worth of preferred stock
$100,000 worth of common stock
$ 20,000 profits
6% of interest for preferred stock = $12,000
How much is available to pay common stock owners?
