Reading 2: Stocks and Shares

A. Read the following information on stocks and shares.

A share is a part of a company, offered for sale to the public. The company is able to raise cash for expansion and new ventures by selling shares in itself to investors. The first time it “goes public” (also known as flotation), a company will often announce its intentions with advertisements in the press. This is called an offer for sale.

As a shareholder, you are an owner of the company and are entitled to take part in its decisions. You are sent an annual company report, you can vote on company issues, and you have the right to attend shareholders’ meetings.

A share’s value is not fixed. Its price is determined by many things: the company’s recent performance; the state of the sector of the economy the company trades in; national and international economic and political changes; the level of consumer demand; and the peculiarly unpredictable human factors of confidence and pessimism. So, if you buy a share at one price and sell it at a higher price, you make a profit; if you sell it at a lower price, you make a loss. Shares can provide an income through the payment of dividends. However, a company can choose not to pay a dividend at all, investing any profits back into the company.
