A share of stock is a unit of ownership in a corporation. Stock may be purchased by individuals, investment companies, pension funds, institutions, banks, and other companies. Publicly traded stocks are bought and sold on stock exchanges throughout the world. Ownership of a corporation's stock entitles the owner to distributions of earnings if dividends are declared. Many investors, however, buy stock with the expectation that it will increase in value and the stock can be sold for a profit.
Stock ownership entitles the owner to vote at stockholders' meetings proportional to the number of shares owned. Important issues regarding the corporation may be decided at these meetings including the election of the members of the board of directors. Sometimes an individual or group of stockholders will attempt to gain a majority of a company's stock in order to elect their choice of directors and thus take control of the company.
Investors might determine which stocks they will purchase based on political or social issues. For example, an investor might buy stocks only of companies that have environmental policies. Another investor might buy stocks only of companies that have family-friendly policies allowing for a balance in work and family life for their employees.
Compose a letter to one of these individuals asking them to serve on the board of directors for your company. Using persuasion, explain why their involvement would be beneficial to everyone.
