The Many Faces of a Stock • An ownership claim on net assets • (Assets – Liabilities) • Investable asset • Common and Preferred shares • Various nomenclature
From where do we get value? • Financial assets are defined by their return and risk • Holders of common stock make money in two ways • Risk is based on the uncertainty of future cash flows
Primary and Secondary Markets • Who makes money when you sell a share of AAPL to somebody? Does Apple care? • A primary market is when shares are issued by the company (e.g. LNKD IPO) • A secondary market is an investor selling to another investor
What is a equity investor trying to do? • How do shares appreciate in value? How do I make money? • In a general sense, what is the point of equity research?
Why equities? • Probably around 1/3 the size of the bond market, so there are fewer assets to invest in • More intangibles to consider
