stocks i say nay clonk clonk clonk

ok this is how stocks work

1 you put out 1500 shares of stock and sell 800$ for a billionth of a share so you still dont own a whole stock billionth millions hundreth all the same the thing is all your buying is a big sheet of paper thats say i like this company and you now own 1 billions of a peice of a sheet of paper that say i realy like your company

2 when you buy stock all you get is stock you dont own any thing on the grounds of the company or any thing at all nothing

3 buying stock helps the company grow faster they now have 800 big ones for a sheet of paper with blah blahs name and how much said sheet is worth and maybe a fancy seal and your signatur or some big tops blurry hand out

4 wonce you have bought stock you now have to sell to people who want stock in a company at what ever price your charging

so i ask you how do you feel about stocks now and whats are we to do about the sitcheation

Hmmmm? I bought stock at $9 dollars a share. Sold it at $33 a share. Got me through my unemployment.

im just saying though that all you bought and sold was a peaice of digital paper thats says i love coke or pepsi

Erm........
how very .. Educational..

If your not day trading, you can either request a paper copy of tne transaction, our eraser you can buy stock of the exchange and directly from the corp. In short, you make no logical sense, sorry. Owning stock is a form of ownership.

A growing company can give returns in value but when the company is mature
it can give dividends better than the savings banks give now of around 1%.
Sure 1% or lower for most stocks, or zero, but some pay larger dividends.
So you do own something and not just a paper unless the workers are so
bad the stock goes down. Lets say you own some sort of a contract that
should sound like my first statement and not like the one before this one.

wrong i gave you stock nothing els i dont have to give you a damn thing i handed you stock legally all i have to do is send you an email saying cokes comeing out with some new tasts want won dont you

I dont want to be rude, but, what are you talking about !!

Of course you own something, you own a share of that Company. Its a public owned Company, owned by the shareholders!
