Contact a share dealer and take it from there.

Here's a site providing financial reports etc.  I don't think they would sell shares directly to investors.  You would have to go through a brokerage firm, or possibly through the investment arm of a bank.\nhttp://www.quantum-energy.com.au/Investors/ASXAnnouncements/tabid/286/Default.aspx

Try this company called CTLM. They are expected to go up big next week, and at the very least, they won't lose money.\nAnother stock I really like is TRFX--they are a stable company and bounce around 5 and 5.50, so see if you can get them at five and then hope they end your 5 weeks near 5.50\nOne word of advise--buy things that aren't 10,000 dollars a share and all that because with only 30k you can't get very many shares of big companies. Try to stick with stuff under 40 bucks a share.\nNow if you wanna' be really safe and not make or lose money, then listen to the other peeps suggestions like hotels, nike, etc. \nIf you wanna win on the other hand, try goin with stuff that is unexpected. Every dork in your class is gonna take Wal*Mart, adidas, etc.  So try something new and origional!

Just buy the same amount of money in each company.\n\nBy the way a portfolio of 4 stocks with 50% in Computer Hardware and 50% in Cars is very risky.

Check with their bankers if you can or whether they file their returns on time to the company registrar...in fact you can also read their financials (copy) from the registrar's office...\n\nIf it is listed check the market capitlisation and movement\n\nIf it is privately held - check the profiles of the partners/sponsors from businessmen/banker

Yup.  Keep the new 5%-discounted shares 12 months for a 5% more shares free dole-out to you, plus approx 4.5% dividend for the year (plus/minus the market change in that year - probably a big plus if the Abbey's flotation is anything to go by) adds up to a very attractive proposition indeed. Value could easily increase by 20% in the year, most building societies are paying less than \nabout 4.5% for instant access. Use your wife's money to buy if she isn't an income tax payer and you're even more quids-in. \nI got all this info from my missus, she's read the mailing before me..

I don't really know what you mean here--do you wish to own shares in a corporation (the source), or buy them through options?  And you want to know which is better?\n\nOr do you want to know what corporations would do?  Since the most likely scenario in a tekover would be through electing a new board of directors, they more than likely would go for the voting common shares.\n\nHope this helps somewhat!\n--J.

The differences between ordinary (perhaps called Class A Shares) and Class B Shares depends what the articles of association of the comapny in question say about them. Typically, Class B Shares will have fewer or no voting rights in the company and holders of the B Shares may not have a right to any repayment on a winding-up of the company.\n\nIn the UK, they are sometimes offered to shareholders of PLCs instead of a dividend. The Class B Shares may then be redeemed for cash, perhaps at any time or, more commonly, at a certain time each year when the company makes an offer to buy them at a certain price. It is possible that they might also be convertable into ordinary shares. For a listed company, the B Share will have a separate price that will be different from, and may fluctuate separately from, the ordinary shares. The market may not be as liquid for B Shares.\n\nA company may choose to issue B Shares rather than a dividend because there are some tax benefits for the comany in doing so. Also, it can help with the company's cashflows because the money they would otherwise pay as a dividend will stay in the company longer and the price they offer to buy it from can fluctuate depending on how the company is doing at the time.\n\nB Shares may also be useful for the holder from a tax perspective. Whereas a dividend is taxable on receipt (higher rate taxpayers having to "make up" the tax on a dividend to 32.5%), I don't think there is any tax payable on the issue of B Shares themselves. There may be capital gains tax when you get redemption moneys, but at least you have some control over when you redeem the money and make the most of your capital gains tax allowance.\n\nIf you are thinking of investing in B Shares, the best thing is to check you understand the redemption and dividend rights on the shares (and the voting rights if they are important to you). It will vary from company to company but the annual report or website of the company should offer you some information, certainly in the case of a PLC in the UK.\n\nFor instance, see the following page for info about Rolls Royce plc (also useful for general information).\n\nhttp://ir.rolls-royce.com/rr/investors/shareholder/bshare/introduction/

Most airlines are poorly run, and with the increase in oil.  this will sound the death knell for them.  I would keep away from all airline stocks except for maybe jetblue

get a share appl9ication foem, fill it up and send your cheque as instructed along with it. If you are no alloted anything you will get a cheque back eventually. This is the old method.\n\nHeard about a Demat account? Ask your banker about it. With one buying shares is as easy as ordering flowers over the net.

Probably figure out existing companies who might value your businesses so much that 2+2 becomes more than 4 (that is your business creates synergy through higher incremental revenues or lower costs).\n\nI dont know of any online marketplace where you can list your company for sale. Investment bankers become interested only when the deal size is big.

the best way to buy shares of your favorite stock is go directly through the company. The only catch is that some companies do not offer this option because an investment banking house such as Morgan Stanley, may make a market or sell the stock on the open market, for the company. Another way to say it is that the company you may want to buy shares in may not handle their own stock. Look on the company website under investor relations for an answer to that. If they dont offer stock, then find a low cost, internet based stock trading company such as ameritrade etc. But, buyer beware, just cause you know the company, doesnt mean you know the stock. Trust me!

You can can buy shares in a listed company thru a online stockbroker. If the company makes a profit it will pay you a dividend ( like interest ). If the shares increase or decrease in value you will make a profit or loss.Buying shares can be a gamble unless you conduct research into the company, this is where a stockbroker can advise you.
