Multi-national corporations & An Introduction to the Stock Market

Forms of Business Ownership Sole Proprietor eg. C. Alexander, Plumbing Partnership eg. Alexander & Alexander Chartered Accountants Corporations eg. Coca Cola Ltd.

Multinational Corporations A ‘multinational’ is a corporation that has business activities around the globe. (In more than one country.) It is also known as an ‘International Corporation.’

Why go international? Take advantage of new markets! Reduce customs / tariffs. Maintain ‘local’ expertise. (reduce language barriers) Tax Advantages

Business Units: - Americas - Europe, Middle East & Africa - Asia Pacific

…and you can own these companies!! All you have to do is buy shares (small pieces) of those companies.

Shares A share of stock is the smallest unit of ownership in a company. If you own a share of a company’s stock, you are a part owner of the company. In effect, you can own part of ANY company in the world, including multinationals!

How does the company run? A board of directors runs the company for you. As a person who owns shares in that company (a shareholder), you get to decide who is on the board. (You get 1 vote for each share you own.) When the company makes money… YOU make money!!

Buying Shares (‘Trading’)

The Stock Markets NYSE (Wall Street) TSX Nikkei Stocks for a company can be traded on one or more of these markets. Just like apples!

Stock Symbols Each stock is represented on the market by a stock symbol. It is three or four letters. eg. AAPL

Stock Prices Prices rise (for a lot of reasons actually) in general when a company is doing well. Prices fall (again, for a lot of reasons) when a company is not doing so well.

Think about your purchases. Research them well. Be able to answer the question “Why are you buying this stock?”

Stock Portfolio This is a collection of all the stocks (shares) you own. How you build it is up to you. (And obviously depends on how much money you have.)

Activity & Competition Refer to the handout on GE. Find this information for Whirlpool as well. Now find at least four companies you might like to invest in. (Make sure you think about why you want to invest in them.) Find the stock symbols for each.

Stock Competition You are going to build and track your own stock portfolio – trading stocks as you see fit. http://nipissing.stocktrak.com/ I have your login and password.
