Types of Shares - A Primer


One of the most popular types of shares is the common share. This type is issued by companies in the form of a "common stock". All shareholders are entitled to a vote on common shares and as such there is a limit on the number of shares that can be issued. This limit can increase if problems arise within the company or if the general public starts to become interested in the company. Common shares are often traded on the New York Stock Exchange and other such stock exchanges throughout the world.

Another popular types of shares is the preferred share. This is issued by companies that are members of the Plano Exchange. A shareholder will have priority over other shareholders when it comes to voting. This means that they will have first refusal rights and can sell their shares before other shareholders have a chance to do so. A common plan will be one that has a fixed number of shares that are listed and for which there is no guarantee.

Another type of common share is the common stock. These shares are issued by a company and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other stock exchanges throughout the world. The number of shares that can be issued at any given time is limited and is determined at the initial share price. Many companies also issue silent shares which are not registered on the stock exchange but are held by the company and its stock holders privately.

Another types of shares is the preferred or common share. This type is much more risky than the common shares because they have less of a chance of being valued and sold on the open market. However, if the company does perform well and the value of the stock increases, the dividend can be used to pay off some of the higher priced shares.

Lastly, there are dividend payments. As with all types of shares, you will get to choose which dividend will be paid. Some companies choose to pay a regular dividend monthly, while others choose to issue a quarterly dividend payment. Generally speaking, most people do not view dividend payments as being as financially rewarding as capital gains or other forms of dividends.

There is an exception to this general rule. If the company is very large, like a publicly traded company, then the dividends may be used to leverage the share price and help it rise. You can even use dividends to offset losses. You must understand that the potential to receive high dividends must be weighed against the potential loss of capital if you do happen to pay them.
