About this ebook
These are fourteen articles about stock investing. While not a full manual about investing, they may help in getting started. A bonus is that there is an Appendix that contains the names of several stocks the beginner may consider as a first investment. There are no guarantees. Stocks go up and down. Prospective first purchasers should check out their selections with their investment advisor.

Some Stocks You Might Start With:
1 What Are Stocks?
In order to invest in stocks, you need to have a clear idea of what stocks are. If you already know, you can skip this chapter.
First, you need to know what a corporation or a company is. (In this book I'll use the terms corporation and company interchangeably.) A corporation is an organization devoted to the purpose of making money. When a corporation is formed, it is required that it have owners. A corporation could be owned by only one person or it could be owned by millions.
Those who start a new corporation or company may decide to allow persons and organizations to purchase part ownership in the company. The smallest part of a company that can be owned is a unit called a share, or a share of stock. Individuals and organizations can purchase more than one share if they wish. They can purchase fifty, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand shares, or more. After the shares have been issued and purchased, those who own shares are known as shareholders or stockholders of the company. The larger the number of shares that any one owner has, the larger that individual's ownership of the company.
Stocks, therefore, represent ownership in a corporation or company. By law, a corporation is defined as an artificial person. The corporation must have a name and owners. Its major objective is to make money for its owners. There are millions of corporations in this country. You know some of their names very well: General Motors, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Kodak, General Electric, Ford, Kellogg's, and many more. These companies, and others, are owned by many thousands or millions of persons and/or organizations.
Many corporations are called public companies. This means that those companies can be owned by the general public. Not all corporations are public companies. What this means is that many corporations are owned by only a few people; members of a family, for example. These companies are said to be privately owned. The shares of privately owned companies are not available to the public. In this book, we'll
