People in 1950: By 2021, all diseases will have been eradicated, we'll have flying cars, and world hunger will be extinct! America in 2021: Race riots, extremely bipartisan government, worldwide pandemic. unstable foreign relationships, climate change, and a burning west coast.
I don't know what you mean by this....I see the closest thing anyone could reasonably expect to a good cartoonist representation all the bureaucracy, expenses, at least one armed robbery, and one LITERAL BRANDING. I feel like those are some pretty solid red flags about the hazards of all this.... it even *explicitly* tells the listener that they need to gather facts before they invest anything (because ignorant investments are not investments, its gambling).
Keep in mind that in general the government was more compitent back then as well, or at least The challenges and pitfalls that it faced it was better equipped to deal with than those it faces currently.
@@MishaFlower Bro last time I checked America never had it's own version of Tianamen Square. While yes it is true corruption and greed has had it's influence within America's government since it's inception... We don't outright butcher people for their interests. At least, we didn't use to. Nowadays it does seem like a definite possibility, given how one sided the government is now. Edit: Guess I was wrong, this was an actual thing. (And apparently this isn't important enough to teach in most history classes.)
Then one day the owner of ODM retired and the company was sold to an investment consortium that determined profits could be significantly increased by relocating manufacturing to China ...
@@jerkjerkington3874 It was Reagan deregulation crusade, that destroyed all anti trust law protections, leading to the increased monopolization of everything you see around you.
@@screamingphoenix8113 So by "unregulated" you mean "slightly less regulated than it used to be." And of course that's ignoring the fact that stock exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ are granted government sanctioned monopolies over the stock market by virtue of the fact that nobody else could possibly meet the government's standards for licensing, or the fact that limited liability corporations themselves a form of undeserved legal immunity granted by the government. Essentially, what happens is that the government manipulates the market until its cronies can form a monopoly, and then every once in a while it makes a big show of taking some particularly unpopular monopoly down a peg while all the cronies slip out the back door and move on to the next scam. And then it all gets blamed on the free market, because clearly the problem was that peons like us have too much freedom. Obviously government manipulation was never the problem, right?
When I was at school at lunch break there was some sort of public class where you could just walk in and learn stuff for an hour while you eat, I'd have much rather learn all about how our finances worked and stuff like that instead of dead monarchs and why they have slanted faces
Ahhh, yes. The days when every company was expected to make a profit and distribute a portion of that said profit in the form of a dividend. Simpler times.
I miss when dividend stocks were common. Felt like you actually got something from the company growing instead of just playing a zero sum game against your fellow investors, so some rich CEO can sell his private shares when they want a new yacht.
You’re right, zombie companies shouldn’t be allowed. Borrowing money has been too easy the last few decades from banking deregulation. We don’t really have capitalism anymore if losers can keep their doors open.
This is just the system advancing. You’d be an utter fool to believe that these assholes‘ ultimate goal was to pay any kind of if not an ever increasing dividend to you for our money

@@zacharymogel9500 the difference then and now is then the stockbrokers committed suicide and the market got oversight when now our government bailed all of the companies out and left everyone else to dry.
As a former broker and current advisor, I can confirm this is accurate, although extremely simplified. There are a LOT more steps involved, and many more facets of the industry. Some key things to point out are that not all common stock issues dividends. Growth stocks reinvest those dividends in an attempt to further grow the company. Large cap stocks are more likely to issue dividends than small or mid cap stocks. Also, they neglected to mention how the exchange makes money on an agency transaction, like the one described for the round lot of ODM. Since the transaction was made on an agency basis between two brokers, a markup was not charged, but rather a sales commission would be. Only in a principle transaction where the broker/market maker owns the stock will a markup (spread) be charged. If a company is going to issue new stock, the board of directors needs to vote on it, and a new filing needs to be made with the SEC. The initial offering made by ODM was described as either a pink sheet (OTC) listing or a private placement. If the former, the secondary offering would not be subject to the same scrutiny and regulatory requirements as the primary offering. No new prospectus would need to be issued to new buyers, for example. In a private placement, the secondary offering would be the company’s IPO.
I can’t fathom how that would even work today with fraud so rampant. They could make buy and sell orders with no I.D except claiming to be somebody on the phone. They had a higher trust society back then.

Hopefully, people know that this video is about a process that no longer exists and no longer takes place. The video only approximates the theory that was in place in the 1980s and earlier, and actually was more complex. Now, the process for most corporate participants (in particular the financing of public corporations) entails other aspects of finance not mentioned here. All of modern stock listings in the U.S. are digitally transacted, contrary to the methods promoted in the video. However, the process of corporate fundraising has changed radically over the last 20-30 years - quite contrary to the presentation in this video (which was probably made in the 1950s or 1960s). The process for trading stocks was not created for common “investors” to transact in, but was modified and redesigned exclusively for the professional trader. You should buy a book on the mechanics of markets before you invest, just so you have a perfunctory understanding of how things work. Otherwise, this video is very misleading for prospective, inexperienced investors.
Dude, you fucking NAILED IT!!! I teach to the new investor and have echoed EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE STATED. Godbless you, continue to spread the word. I like the video, but it is NOT ACCURATELY REFLECTING THE FINANCIAL MARKETS OF THIS PERIOD...
Anyone with half of a brain should know this is an old 60's film to interest the average Joe to want to invest. But people don't have common sense anymore. They've never seen Gun Smoke, I dream of Jeanie or others like it. You made a very accurate statement and I agree. However, the video did say at the end to get more detailed information before investing. But sometimes with beginners, since things are so complex now, it's good to get back to the basics. True we don't have ticker tapes anymore and much of the Wall ST mania is handled electronically but the same theory and mechanics of it all continue to work the similarly. The problem is that today, people are more dishonest than they were 100 years ago (not to say they weren't dishonest) and with the expedience of media and internet, news flows much more quickly and people don't take the time to do their research (or due diligence as so commonly referred to) and jump right in and end up losing and wondering why. True fact: Everyone WILL lose money in the stock market! Never the less, great statement and I say take the video for face value and not over analyze it. Maybe if everyone could get back to basics the world wouldn't be so difficult.
Yeah. I'm no expert, but this cartoon obviously portrays the theory of the benefits of investing. No corruption in this ideal cartoon and everything is nice...but what about 1929 or the crashes in the 70s with little gas or the 80s when local businesses got screwed? I'm probably repeating some others but it's clear this isn't perfect.
Great content ,The Stock market is still a fantastic tool for building wealth , however, so it's wise to consider investing even if you don't have much money to spare.
Some of the non-tech that I think are positioned to go really up are Home Depot, Delta Airlines, Pool Corp, etc. I have set aside almost $200k for that. I want to know if my projections are right based on technical observations. Any suggestions?
Would recommend a banking company like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, or WellsFargo. Having a diverse portfolio is key; that being said, Intel and AMD are great stocks to keep an eye on.
They did until OBM realized they could have higher profit margins and larger dividends if they moved their operations overseas. So the shareholders ousted the founder of the company and the board moved the operation to China.
I would expect to find at this point, at least three to five specific tracks of deviation emanating from each particular partition of investments in all realms. Particularly, the investment banking political interface mode. The pharmaceutical industries interface nexus with the regulatory bodies and the CIA and also the nexus between all media and all elecitve bodies.. That means at the initial point of primary level inferface. That projects into at least 40 potential pathways in wihch various derivitive types of corruption can be currently generating... The major types of corruption are, hierachical, policy based, direct proffitting. Endanger the public prolfit and political leverage.... It almost requires a specific set of exppertise in order for one to be abke to authentically confront this octapus... But the task must be done, for to not do so will create a wide spread breakdown on multiple levels for the entire civilzation... Thats not hyperbolic, thats actual..
depend on the type of share either common or preferred share; preferred stock are paid a specific amount agreed at the moment it was bought it will never be less or more if you stock is for 10$ that's what you will get. On the other hand common stock are more like been part of the company between you and the other owners it is decided how the dividends will be used, in other word common stock varys. Sometime for the sake of the company it might be decided to use it to invest on improving the company, other times the company has made so little profit that after paying all its necessity their is no or very little money to be able to pay you or the others; other time the company might have as example 200 millions on dividends and you own 25% of the stock and 100% of the dividend will be split between investors; so you have earned 50 millions in a shot! and suddenly next time their is a crisis and the company has 500 dollars dividend and you get 125$ (if they even choose to split that); so as you see their is benefit and risks one will provide a solid secure amount the other will be more risky but might give you 1000% or more profit all the sudden.
Blazerelf Thank you for that, great and enlightening answer!! If you don't mind, here's a few more: How do you affect how a company makes more money as an investor? I can understand an expert going in, buying 30% shares, turning his "trick", the company runs better and they make more money - if that is even legal. But how about stock traders? Those who don't know anything about what the company does - How do they make money on stocks? Is that a misconception? I mean, in order to buy stocks at the right moment, you must know something about the business' logistics, right? You can't just look at the profit graph all day through, to me that just seems like gambling! Also, why do the leader board of a company choose to pay out dividends to stock owners, and just not take everything for themselves? What good do small time stock owners do for a company? If I own 1 stock at 10$ in a 1 million stock company, why would they even bother paying out? Do the amount they pay have to be split evenly to all stock holders? I highly appreciate your time.
yeah is definitely legal warren buffet is rich because of this, he invest in other companys and sell share for more or get alot of money from them; he is pretty elder he bought decades ago shares of company like Coca-cola, Gaico, banks and other known business when they were kind of small and look how big they are now so he got big too; but he has also lost loook for example Lehman brothers that went bankrupt he had share their and that was a lost, their is nothing wrong with that you have to have a good eye and the video said it, the company swears their financial info is true, the investors look at that info to determine if your company is worth spending their money on. Nothing illegal on that. Stockholders make money by commission; my teacher use to tell me investor are like grand leagues because you must have a lot of money to be at that level but that doesn't mean you are a pro at investing in shares; stockholder is that person you hire to advice you in how to do so he is like a lawyer that know more about the system and tells you whats is best for your money andafter a decision is taken he is also who makes the investment or purchase; some people trust their stock holder enough to allow them to invest their money without even asking them; their commission depend a lot of how big is the investment and the results from it. Prevously you said they dont known nothing about the company, definetly they dont and they dont need to, they need is numbers; the financial informarmation is not a day to day graph is a annual or semestral information; you can follow the tendencies of a company also their is different type of tables and graphs to determine different info; it is not as simple as you might think where ag uy looks at a graph and sees the company made alot of money this year and you conclude is good. Let me give a simple example: you are a stock holder and your client wishes to invest in common stocks and the company shows that after he pays all its bills and accounts it has 500 millions which sound like alot, but common invertor gets paid last so you still need to see how much the preffered get, boom! it shows they get a unchangable mandatory amount of 300 million in total so now their is remaining 200 mill for all the coomon inv, still you have to know how many are they and what % in the share you would posses? let says he was interest on a 20% that means he can profit 40 mil which is great still. But as a professional you find a problem an account showing the company borrowed 200 millions, based on that you can conclude the company would have not make profit for the common investor if not becasue of the borrowing, you look back and see how many time the company has borrowed money and deduce how much does the company depend on debts, their is also something called financial indicators which are equations you can use to calculate diffent factor 9of a company as how indebted how much profit is really from sells, how much % in averageinvestor make. So as you see their is a lot of tools a stock broker or anybody can use to determine their risk, mathematics, number don't lie you just need to be well educated. Stills as you said the investor is gambling because nobody can predict perfectly when will that company fall; apple coulod fall tomorow and the numbers did not say so, another global financial crisis mayt happen tomorow you never know; but the numbers can help you reduce the falure probabilitys
123TauruZ321 you last questions said ¿why do the leader board of a company choose to pay out dividends to stock owners, and just not take everything for themselves? I believe you refer to why the leaders pay share owners, the reason is because the leaders ARE THE SHARE OWNERS if you bough common share you are one of those guys sitting their taking decision on how will you all be paid (unless you have preffered share in that case you must always get paid as established and not paying them would be as not paying an employer, which is illegal), depending in how much shares you got it determines how much your vote weights in the board of directors; sometimes they choose to not pay the full amount the company has made in dividends becasue they feel investing it on improving the company or as a saving is better; its like in the government where their is an assembly, suggestion are given for new laws or decision and votes are counted for a resolution What good do small time stock owners do for a company? If I own 1 stock at 10$ in a 1 million stock company, why would they even bother paying out? Do the amount they pay have to be split evenly to all stock holders? JAJA i remember I asked this to my teacher, as I said before he wold me investors like "major leagues" people who can afford huge investment, almost nobody buys 1 share. Anyways Lets say someone did, yes they would have to pay me my % anyways although it is extremely small lol; but it is a bad idea because buying that share costed me money since you had to pay commission to the stock holder and it is usually about 40$ or less per transaction also the amount you might get from dividend might be too small example 100,000 share you buy one and the company is splitting 5million you have earned 50$, minus any fees, taxes or whatever you will be charged, notice your profit is way lower than all the money you made on that small share, he i have link with more details www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/143.asp
Thank you so much man, highly appreciated! It is a very interesting "game", or line of work. Could listen to it for hours. I am at a crossroads in life now, where I am trying to choose a new education, at age 30. Thinking of taking a degree in economics and marketing, just to see what sticks or not. I need big responsibility in order to get out of bed. Been working in the building industry most of my adult life and I know 100%, you don't ever have a chance at getting rich from that ^^ But in the world of paper and stocks, you do have a chance.

Its how businesses raise money by selling ownership in the company . This is all subject to rumors, speculation, fake news both good or bad. If you love the company you have built never go public with it ,or private unless your sure you can pay back the money you were lent .
This did answer one thing I have wondered about for ages. I never knew simply owning the stock gave dividends. What little i heard always made it sound like the only way to make money in stocks was to sell them for more then you bought them for. If my dearly departed grandfather is to be believed he sold the founder of PepsiCo some of his first soda fountains. He didn't have enough money to pay him there but offered him a 10% share of the company. But dear old grandpa just said he could pay him later, which he did. But now seeing this I know the dividends from PepsiCo stocks would have made my family rich enough that i and my brothers would have never needed to work.

It grinds my gears seeing that analogy they use for college. Objects on a conveyor belt line. Treating students like objects which do not think for themselves. They go to college without asking why. And leave thinking they’re doing the right thing. They thought they knew what they were doing, but they didn’t.
A door True, but I don't feel that just having cheaper prices is enough, as there are several factors that bring that price back up from import tax to a higher min wage for the employees at distribution level. The only marginally cheaper price doesn't make up for the fact that the jobs most readily available still don't make enough to buy the marginally cheaper products. See company's don't lose money if they can help it, they'll just raise their profit margin if thye know peps will buy the thing.
As long as you check a companies financial statements and price to earnings ratio, you will run lower risk. I created my portfolio about 3 weeks ago with a quarter in British equity, yet Brexit hasn't had a catastrophic impact on my portfolio.

Stocks are grand if you are careful.
With a good investment plan that ensures steady incomes without any doubts I am prepared for a well organized retirement. I started investing in stocks 3 years ago and so far with help, I am making a good yield on my dividend.
@Eleanor Woodbead like I stated, I've been putting aside money into stocks and with the assistance of a seasoned-trade analyst, Levi Clemans, who is under a licensed broker. He has been the backbone of my trades. Making a substantial amount of profit, I just renew my investment.
This is great. I’ve come across several comments on Clemans. As a noob, I’d want nothing more than to expert help even if I hope to pay for it. Thanks for looking out for others!
It’s safe to say that Levi is indeed God sent after a series of payouts. I have no concerns about investing more, he flatly turned down my gift token and asked me to give it to charity saying, “God has honored me with everything I need, be His servant and help the less fortunate”.
It left out the part where someone takes out a loan to purchase majority stake in a company using the company's assets as collateral, then using their majority stake to have the company decide to liquidate its assets to pay off those loans and the investors, before leaving the hollowed-out business to rot. THEN, when the business inevitably folds, claiming those "losses" as a tax credit on their next financial endeavor.

The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the first place.” Never forget that this is the bottom line, to make money.

Many investors were chastened by the big stock market drop in 2008-2009. Four years later, a lot of these investors are still not back in the market.

I also have a question. Initially if a company enters the stock exchange to due the need of money, why does it still stay on the stock market when it is financial sounds and is prosperous?
financially sound its not because of profit it's because of public money but as you said company even can buy it's own stocks from stock market whenever it wants even it can delisted from stock exchange if it holds 90 % of its own stock ;)
simple, because the industry is always growing. you saw how the small business went from making a few drums to making dozens of drums, but soon more customers demanded more business so he expanded again. this keeps happening as the industries keep growing and growing, and new and better services are made. so they still need more capital from stock sales to fund it
The owners of the shares can then sell them to others at any time, as happened in the cartoon. To leave the stock market would require a buyback of those stocks freely traded by the stockholders every day.
@@fatpotatoe6039 not to mention, when a corporation gets large enough it isn't just one person at the top calling the shots, there's a board of directors they have to answer to, and they all have a stake in the company as well. it's far harder for one person to make major changes that way, so the company is more stable
You’re thinking about it from the nowaday progressive. However, from the classical liberal, this meant jobs taking care of families, new inventions to make life easier, useful products that improve our quality of life. It’s about weighing the costs and benefits, and we should do something that provides the most benefit to society. Traditionally, we have said that improving our quality of life, making useful inventions, and providing jobs to provide for families is greater weight than smoke stacks belching fire and brimstone into the air. The nowaday progressive equate that with the world ending, though, so of course if something literally ends the world, it is heavier weight than increasing our quality of life, jobs taking care of families, and so on and so forth. If the word is literally ending, that’s the heaviest thing. The question becomes to what extent is having this factory damaging the earth, and what is the likelihood that those impacts will be severe/extreme/or world ending? Is the chance for the world to have a higher temperature or is the world as a matter of fact, literally coming from an end? What is the likelihood of that? Which is more significant, the improvements of quality of life that we all enjoy, the products that we all enjoy, the technology that makes us incredibly in tune with society all together at once, the jobs providing for billions of families or the likelihood that the harm will be great (world ending ). This is the question we have to weigh. I don’t think we should be ignoring the earth and her environment, since God has called us to be good stewards of this earth and the wonderful nature that is given to us. We should conserve it, I am an Eagle Scout, and I love nature. I’ve raised horses all my life and enjoy fishing and growing wheat. We can certainly be concerned with environment. But we should absolutely not get rid of the great things that these smoke stacks give us. A better way of life, and easier way to live, jobs and provision for our loved ones. These are all incredible things. I enjoy eating cereal, it’s my favorite breakfast. However did you know the cereal that was grown with wheat was made with nitrogen implants into the soil so that we could have an efficient crop yield? That nitrogen was produced for the entire country in nitrogen plants, such as the one outside my hometown. The nitrogen plant, called the Koch plant, provides 10% of all the nitrogen in the USA. And it provides HUNDREDS of jobs for families in my community. The Koch plant is involved throughout our community as well, sponsoring events, and giving back to the community in ways that make me enjoy having them in our lives. They provide meaningful support to local youth sports teams, a foundation to build a community around, and tons of nitrogen so you and I can enjoy cereal for breakfast everyday. To say that the Koch plant is evil, or harming society is incredibly wrong. They provide meaningful interactions and support for thousands, even millions through their nitrogen. To say that they should be discontinued is wrong and incorrect. What about the people it would affect? This is also not a conjectural harm, a “it might maybe happen, but we don’t know how bad” harm, like the world ending - this is a guaranteed harm. If the Koch plant shuts down, we now lose 10% if the nitrogen in the USA, and we instead will ship it in from overseas like China (who literally does not care about polluting the world. China and India produce far more pollution and have a much greater material effect on the state of the environment than the USA, but this is not talked about) So we will be losing the ability to grow good wheat, and eat good cereal, or we will lose our jobs and devastate our communities, while allowing an outside country to do the pollution for us (they won’t make nitrogen in an eco-friendly way). So the harms are great, but the harm of the world ending is conjectural. In society, it’s all about union. The fact that we are United makes us incredibly strong. The industrial worker makes nitrogen, the farmer makes wheat, you and I eat cereal, and we work at our jobs to provide a service or whatever we do for the industrial worker. We are all connected, United we stand. If we remove the industrial worker, society cannot function. I am confident that over time and research, we can find a way to make our industries better and more eco-friendly, while still efficient. I am not a scientist, but we have developed and come so far, I know we can discover ways to make less-pollutant factories, while still make the products and services that you and I enjoy. I’m confident in this, I know society can achieve this. But we should not rush to take out our industries and businesses because try at IS how progress happens. It is how diseases are cured, through science and research, funded by businesses and taxes that government collects from businesses. Smoke stacks are where the products and improvements to our better life are made. We should be thankful that we benefit from them everyday. And we should also seek to improve them, so they emit less smoke. I have no science, but imagine if they churned out a great product that society enjoys and belched out water instead of smoke and fire and brimstone. That would be great, but we don’t have that technology yet. 30 years ago, they had no smart phones, and I’ve lived to see that. 100 years ago there wasn’t commercial air travel which we all enjoy to see friends and relatives. 200 years ago they had no running water in our houses. In my lifetime, I thoroughly look forward to maybe seeing our industries make useful things for society while being more eco-friendly. That would be a dream come true. But regardless, I think we can all take some time to be thankful and appreciate the improvements to our modern lives and progress as a society that they have brought. Sincerely, A.J.S.

@@jerkjerkington3874 It was Reagan deregulation crusade, that destroyed all anti trust law protections, leading to the increased monopolization of everything you see around you.
@@screamingphoenix8113 So by "unregulated" you mean "slightly less regulated than it used to be." And of course that's ignoring the fact that stock exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ are granted government sanctioned monopolies over the stock market by virtue of the fact that nobody else could possibly meet the government's standards for licensing, or the fact that limited liability corporations themselves a form of undeserved legal immunity granted by the government.
Essentially, what happens is that the government manipulates the market until its cronies can form a monopoly, and then every once in a while it makes a big show of taking some particularly unpopular monopoly down a peg while all the cronies slip out the back door and move on to the next scam. And then it all gets blamed on the free market, because clearly the problem was that peons like us have too much freedom. Obviously government manipulation was never the problem, right?

As a former broker and current advisor, I can confirm this is accurate, although extremely simplified. There are a LOT more steps involved, and many more facets of the industry. Some key things to point out are that not all common stock issues dividends. Growth stocks reinvest those dividends in an attempt to further grow the company. Large cap stocks are more likely to issue dividends than small or mid cap stocks.
Also, they neglected to mention how the exchange makes money on an agency transaction, like the one described for the round lot of ODM. Since the transaction was made on an agency basis between two brokers, a markup was not charged, but rather a sales commission would be. Only in a principle transaction where the broker/market maker owns the stock will a markup (spread) be charged.
If a company is going to issue new stock, the board of directors needs to vote on it, and a new filing needs to be made with the SEC. The initial offering made by ODM was described as either a pink sheet (OTC) listing or a private placement. If the former, the secondary offering would not be subject to the same scrutiny and regulatory requirements as the primary offering. No new prospectus would need to be issued to new buyers, for example. In a private placement, the secondary offering would be the company’s IPO.
You're right, and also the amount of due diligence between all these steps... Nightmare 😁

Hopefully, people know that this video is about a process that no longer exists and no longer takes place. The video only approximates the theory that was in place in the 1980s and earlier, and actually was more complex. Now, the process for most corporate participants (in particular the financing of public corporations) entails other aspects of finance not mentioned here. All of modern stock listings in the U.S. are digitally transacted, contrary to the methods promoted in the video. However, the process of corporate fundraising has changed radically over the last 20-30 years - quite contrary to the presentation in this video (which was probably made in the 1950s or 1960s). The process for trading stocks was not created for common “investors” to transact in, but was modified and redesigned exclusively for the professional trader. You should buy a book on the mechanics of markets before you invest, just so you have a perfunctory understanding of how things work. Otherwise, this video is very misleading for prospective, inexperienced investors.
Dude, you fucking NAILED IT!!! I teach to the new investor and have echoed EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE STATED. Godbless you, continue to spread the word. I like the video, but it is NOT ACCURATELY REFLECTING THE FINANCIAL MARKETS OF THIS PERIOD...
Anyone with half of a brain should know this is an old 60's film to interest the average Joe to want to invest. But people don't have common sense anymore. They've never seen Gun Smoke, I dream of Jeanie or others like it. You made a very accurate statement and I agree. However, the video did say at the end to get more detailed information before investing. But sometimes with beginners, since things are so complex now, it's good to get back to the basics. True we don't have ticker tapes anymore and much of the Wall ST mania is handled electronically but the same theory and mechanics of it all continue to work the similarly. The problem is that today, people are more dishonest than they were 100 years ago (not to say they weren't dishonest) and with the expedience of media and internet, news flows much more quickly and people don't take the time to do their research (or due diligence as so commonly referred to) and jump right in and end up losing and wondering why. True fact: Everyone WILL lose money in the stock market! Never the less, great statement and I say take the video for face value and not over analyze it. Maybe if everyone could get back to basics the world wouldn't be so difficult.
Your words are boring. Make a neat updated cartoon to explain
Yeah. I'm no expert, but this cartoon obviously portrays the theory of the benefits of investing.

I'm probably repeating some others but it's clear this isn't perfect.

kant what do you mean ? It's worse now ?
I have a question. How much of the profits is a company legally committed to pay to its stock owners?
depend on the type of share either common or preferred share; preferred stock are paid a specific amount agreed at the moment it was bought it will never be less or more if you stock is for 10$ that's what you will get. On the other hand common stock are more like been part of the company between you and the other owners it is decided how the dividends will be used, in other word common stock varys. Sometime for the sake of the company it might be decided to use it to invest on improving the company, other times the company has made so little profit that after paying all its necessity their is no or very little money to be able to pay you or the others; other time the company might have as example 200 millions on dividends and you own 25% of the stock and 100% of the dividend will be split between investors; so you have earned 50 millions in a shot! and suddenly next time their is a crisis and the company has 500 dollars dividend and you get 125$ (if they even choose to split that); so as you see their is benefit and risks one will provide a solid secure amount the other will be more risky but might give you 1000% or more profit all the sudden.
Blazerelf Thank you for that, great and enlightening answer!! If you don't mind, here's a few more: How do you affect how a company makes more money as an investor? I can understand an expert going in, buying 30% shares, turning his "trick", the company runs better and they make more money - if that is even legal. But how about stock traders? Those who don't know anything about what the company does - How do they make money on stocks? Is that a misconception? I mean, in order to buy stocks at the right moment, you must know something about the business' logistics, right? You can't just look at the profit graph all day through, to me that just seems like gambling! Also, why do the leader board of a company choose to pay out dividends to stock owners, and just not take everything for themselves? What good do small time stock owners do for a company? If I own 1 stock at 10$ in a 1 million stock company, why would they even bother paying out? Do the amount they pay have to be split evenly to all stock holders? I highly appreciate your time.
yeah is definitely legal warren buffet is rich because of this, he invest in other companys and sell share for more or get alot of money from them; he is pretty elder he bought decades ago shares of company like Coca-cola, Gaico, banks and other known business when they were kind of small and look how big they are now so he got big too; but he has also lost loook for example Lehman brothers that went bankrupt he had share their and that was a lost, their is nothing wrong with that you have to have a good eye and the video said it, the company swears their financial info is true, the investors look at that info to determine if your company is worth spending their money on. Nothing illegal on that.
Stockholders make money by commission; my teacher use to tell me investor are like grand leagues because you must have a lot of money to be at that level but that doesn't mean you are a pro at investing in shares; stockholder is that person you hire to advice you in how to do so he is like a lawyer that know more about the system and tells you whats is best for your money andafter a decision is taken he is also who makes the investment or purchase; some people trust their stock holder enough to allow them to invest their money without even asking them; their commission depend a lot of how big is the investment and the results from it.
Prevously you said they dont known nothing about the company, definetly they dont and they dont need to, they need is numbers; the financial informarmation is not a day to day graph is a annual or semestral information; you can follow the tendencies of a company also their is different type of tables and graphs to determine different info; it is not as simple as you might think where ag uy looks at a graph and sees the company made alot of money this year and you conclude is good. Let me give a simple example: you are a stock holder and your client wishes to invest in common stocks and the company shows that after he pays all its bills and accounts it has 500 millions which sound like alot, but common invertor gets paid last so you still need to see how much the preffered get, boom! it shows they get a unchangable mandatory amount of 300 million in total so now their is remaining 200 mill for all the coomon inv, still you have to know how many are they and what % in the share you would posses? let says he was interest on a 20% that means he can profit 40 mil which is great still. But as a professional you find a problem an account showing the company borrowed 200 millions, based on that you can conclude the company would have not make profit for the common investor if not becasue of the borrowing, you look back and see how many time the company has borrowed money and deduce how much does the company depend on debts, their is also something called financial indicators which are equations you can use to calculate diffent factor 9of a company as how indebted how much profit is really from sells, how much % in averageinvestor make.
So as you see their is a lot of tools a stock broker or anybody can use to determine their risk, mathematics, number don't lie you just need to be well educated. Stills as you said the investor is gambling because nobody can predict perfectly when will that company fall; apple coulod fall tomorow and the numbers did not say so, another global financial crisis mayt happen tomorow you never know; but the numbers can help you reduce the falure probabilitys

you last questions said ¿why do the leader board of a company choose to pay out dividends to stock owners, and just not take everything for themselves?
I believe you refer to why the leaders pay share owners, the reason is because the leaders ARE THE SHARE OWNERS if you bough common share you are one of those guys sitting their taking decision on how will you all be paid (unless you have preffered share in that case you must always get paid as established and not paying them would be as not paying an employer, which is illegal), depending in how much shares you got it determines how much your vote weights in the board of directors; sometimes they choose to not pay the full amount the company has made in dividends becasue they feel investing it on improving the company or as a saving is better; its like in the government where their is an assembly, suggestion are given for new laws or decision and votes are counted for a resolution
What good do small time stock owners do for a company? If I own 1 stock at 10$ in a 1 million stock company, why would they even bother paying out? Do the amount they pay have to be split evenly to all stock holders? JAJA i remember I asked this to my teacher, as I said before he wold me investors like "major leagues" people who can afford huge investment, almost nobody buys 1 share. Anyways Lets say someone did, yes they would have to pay me my % anyways although it is extremely small lol; but it is a bad idea because buying that share costed me money since you had to pay commission to the stock holder and it is usually about 40$ or less per transaction also the amount you might get from dividend might be too small example 100,000 share you buy one and the company is splitting 5million you have earned 50$, minus any fees, taxes or whatever you will be charged, notice your profit is way lower than all the money you made on that small share, he i have link with more details www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/143.asp

A door True, but I don't feel that just having cheaper prices is enough, as there are several factors that bring that price back up from import tax to a higher min wage for the employees at distribution level. The only marginally cheaper price doesn't make up for the fact that the jobs most readily available still don't make enough to buy the marginally cheaper products. See company's don't lose money if they can help it, they'll just raise their profit margin if thye know peps will buy the thing.

With a good investment plan that ensures steady incomes without any doubts I am prepared for a well organized retirement. I started investing in stocks 3 years ago and so far with help, I am making a good yield on my dividend.
@Eleanor Woodbead like I stated, I've been putting aside money into stocks and with the assistance of a seasoned-trade analyst, Levi Clemans, who is under a licensed broker. He has been the backbone of my trades. Making a substantial amount of profit, I just renew my investment.
@Eleanor Woodbead Leviclemans(a)Gmai
Lcom...Is he taking commissions for trades? Yes, I’m I still making money in the process? Hell yes!
This is great. I’ve come across several comments on Clemans. As a noob, I’d want nothing more than to expert help even if I hope to pay for it. Thanks for looking out for others!
It’s safe to say that Levi is indeed God sent after a series of payouts. I have no concerns about investing more, he flatly turned down my gift token and asked me to give it to charity saying, “God has honored me with everything I need, be His servant and help the less fortunate”.
Clemans has been known to do rapes
This is interesting stuff to know. I just saw the Big Short, and I can't believe that those people got away with all that stuff.
It left out the part where someone takes out a loan to purchase majority stake in a company using the company's assets as collateral, then using their majority stake to have the company decide to liquidate its assets to pay off those loans and the investors, before leaving the hollowed-out business to rot. THEN, when the business inevitably folds, claiming those "losses" as a tax credit on their next financial endeavor.
It's amazing how I know every word in the intro and outro
Man, they used to explain stuff so much better. I’ve watched numerous modern UA-cam on how stocks work and this explained it best. I also like the old black and white videos explaining horsepower, transmissions, stuff like that
Well, that's probably because it's a lot more complicated than this video now.
Thats like watching a video about an ancient single celled organism and being like "well gee, I've been studying this whole big human physiology textbook for a year. What a waste of time that was! Should have just watched the 5 minutes prokaryote video and then applied for med school"
@@JJ-iu5hl for me it does help to get a simpler understanding first though
@@dipsyteletubbie802 The point is, it's not accurate. You can make it as simple as you want, but if the materials just isn't correct, it's worthless.
The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the first place.” Never forget that this is the bottom line, to make money. Yet many do, mostly as fear, doubt, and greed interfere with rational thinking. just beat my benchmark of £ 16k for the month, this is thanks to Sir Benjamin H. ravies, a senior investment analyst I trade under applauding my decision to boldly take the chance and started investing when I saw an opportunity.
Benjamin ravies(a gmai comm to leave him a message okay
Many investors were chastened by the big stock
market drop in 2008-2009. Four years later, a lot of these investors are still not back in the market. Instead, they may be earning just a few percentage points in bonds or CDs. That's not a recipe for growing a nest egg that will provide for a comfortable retirement or fund your children's education.
@@Binsabar I continue to remain on the longer-term buy side I will continue to do so, of course, expecting the normal
corrections, or shakeouts or fadeouts, but I am more optimistic on investing in the stock market now than ever.
@@Thyago2420 I must also add that in my more than 3 years as a trader, investor and market analyst, I have met and,
known many of the top people in the business. Benjamin is a “Person” who ranks at the top, top of my list in credibility, commitment, and a deep love for his work. When Benjamin talks I LISTEN!
I also have a question. Initially if a company enters the stock exchange to due the need of money, why does it still stay on the stock market when it is financial sounds and is prosperous?
financially sound its not because of profit it's because of public money but as you said company even can buy it's own stocks from stock market whenever it wants even it can delisted from stock exchange if it holds 90 % of its own stock ;)
g0ds0n123 why use your money when you can gamble with other peoples money.
simple, because the industry is always growing. you saw how the small business went from making a few drums to making dozens of drums, but soon more customers demanded more business so he expanded again. this keeps happening as the industries keep growing and growing, and new and better services are made. so they still need more capital from stock sales to fund it
The owners of the shares can then sell them to others at any time, as happened in the cartoon. To leave the stock market would require a buyback of those stocks freely traded by the stockholders every day.
@@fatpotatoe6039 not to mention, when a corporation gets large enough it isn't just one person at the top calling the shots, there's a board of directors they have to answer to, and they all have a stake in the company as well. it's far harder for one person to make major changes that way, so the company is more stable
When a 9 minute cartoon taught me more about how the stock market works than a semester at a college.
Thank you webull and other stock trading apps. From 6:13 and forward. ODM shares constantly changes. By the time the 10.00 a share transaction happens
I love how they literally put pollution (smoke stacks) in so many scenes as a measure of increased improvement and progress.
You’re thinking about it from the nowaday progressive. However, from the classical liberal, this meant jobs taking care of families, new inventions to make life easier, useful products that improve our quality of life.
It’s about weighing the costs and benefits, and we should do something that provides the most benefit to society.
Traditionally, we have said that improving our quality of life, making useful inventions, and providing jobs to provide for families is greater weight than smoke stacks belching fire and brimstone into the air.
The nowaday progressive equate that with the world ending, though, so of course if something literally ends the world, it is heavier weight than increasing our quality of life, jobs taking care of families, and so on and so forth.
If the word is literally ending, that’s the heaviest thing. The question becomes to what extent is having this factory damaging the earth, and what is the likelihood that those impacts will be severe/extreme/or world ending? Is the chance for the world to have a higher temperature or is the world as a matter of fact, literally coming from an end? What is the likelihood of that? Which is more significant, the improvements of quality of life that we all enjoy, the products that we all enjoy, the technology that makes us incredibly in tune with society all together at once, the jobs providing for billions of families or the likelihood that the harm will be great (world ending ).
This is the question we have to weigh. I don’t think we should be ignoring the earth and her environment, since God has called us to be good stewards of this earth and the wonderful nature that is given to us. We should conserve it, I am an Eagle Scout, and I love nature. I’ve raised horses all my life and enjoy fishing and growing wheat. We can certainly be concerned with environment. But we should absolutely not get rid of the great things that these smoke stacks give us.
A better way of life, and easier way to live, jobs and provision for our loved ones. These are all incredible things. I enjoy eating cereal, it’s my favorite breakfast.
However did you know the cereal that was grown with wheat was made with nitrogen implants into the soil so that we could have an efficient crop yield? That nitrogen was produced for the entire country in nitrogen plants, such as the one outside my hometown.
The nitrogen plant, called the Koch plant, provides 10% of all the nitrogen in the USA. And it provides HUNDREDS of jobs for families in my community. The Koch plant is involved throughout our community as well, sponsoring events, and giving back to the community in ways that make me enjoy having them in our lives. They provide meaningful support to local youth sports teams, a foundation to build a community around, and tons of nitrogen so you and I can enjoy cereal for breakfast everyday.
To say that the Koch plant is evil, or harming society is incredibly wrong. They provide meaningful interactions and support for thousands, even millions through their nitrogen.
To say that they should be discontinued is wrong and incorrect. What about the people it would affect? This is also not a conjectural harm, a “it might maybe happen, but we don’t know how bad” harm, like the world ending - this is a guaranteed harm. If the Koch plant shuts down, we now lose 10% if the nitrogen in the USA, and we instead will ship it in from overseas like China (who literally does not care about polluting the world. China and India produce far more pollution and have a much greater material effect on the state of the environment than the USA, but this is not talked about)
So we will be losing the ability to grow good wheat, and eat good cereal, or we will lose our jobs and devastate our communities, while allowing an outside country to do the pollution for us (they won’t make nitrogen in an eco-friendly way).
So the harms are great, but the harm of the world ending is conjectural.
In society, it’s all about union. The fact that we are United makes us incredibly strong. The industrial worker makes nitrogen, the farmer makes wheat, you and I eat cereal, and we work at our jobs to provide a service or whatever we do for the industrial worker. We are all connected, United we stand.
If we remove the industrial worker, society cannot function. I am confident that over time and research, we can find a way to make our industries better and more eco-friendly, while still efficient. I am not a scientist, but we have developed and come so far, I know we can discover ways to make less-pollutant factories, while still make the products and services that you and I enjoy. I’m confident in this, I know society can achieve this.
But we should not rush to take out our industries and businesses because try at IS how progress happens. It is how diseases are cured, through science and research, funded by businesses and taxes that government collects from businesses.
Smoke stacks are where the products and improvements to our better life are made. We should be thankful that we benefit from them everyday. And we should also seek to improve them, so they emit less smoke. I have no science, but imagine if they churned out a great product that society enjoys and belched out water instead of smoke and fire and brimstone. That would be great, but we don’t have that technology yet. 30 years ago, they had no smart phones, and I’ve lived to see that. 100 years ago there wasn’t commercial air travel which we all enjoy to see friends and relatives.
200 years ago they had no running water in our houses.
In my lifetime, I thoroughly look forward to maybe seeing our industries make useful things for society while being more eco-friendly. That would be a dream come true. But regardless, I think we can all take some time to be thankful and appreciate the improvements to our modern lives and progress as a society that they have brought. Sincerely,
A.J.S.
For me this feels like a fallout cinematic. And it feels good.
Now the IPOs come before the corporations have any revenue.
I already knew 90% of this but I got an absolute kick out of it. 😃
I love this art so much
I’m pretty young and just started my portfolio with around $80K. Dividends drew me in right away! Slowly trying to create significant passive income and manage my Stock Portfolio. how do I invest to deal with markets ups & downs
It's wise to seek expert assistance when beginning your financial portfolio. market is volatile, so professional guidance is so important..
Having an investment advisor is the best approach to the stock market right now. I was going solo without much success until my wife introduced me to an advisor. I've achieved over 80% capital growth this year, excluding dividends.
Hey friend, How can I work with your Fiduciary?
*Marissa Lynn Babula* is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..

I own many shares of our future. and I still feel it's bleak.
Basically get the public to pay their loans
Where is the lesson about pump and dump schemes?
Great info for upcoming new investors in year 2025.
