Share (finance)

In financial markets, a share is a unit of account for various investments. It often means the stock of a corporation, but is also used for collective investments such as mutual funds, limited partnerships, and real estate investment trusts.

Corporations issue shares which are offered for sale to raise share capital. The owner of shares in the corporation is a shareholder (or stockholder) of the corporation. A share is an indivisible unit of capital, expressing the ownership relationship between the company and the shareholder. The denominated value of a share is its face value, and the total of the face value of issued shares represent the capital of a company, which may not reflect the market value of those shares.

The income received from the ownership of shares is a dividend. The process of purchasing and selling shares often involves going through a stockbroker as a middle man.

Valuation

Shares are valued according to various principles in different markets, but a basic premise is that a share is worth the price at which a transaction would be likely to occur were the shares to be sold. The liquidity of markets is a major consideration as to whether a share is able to be sold at any given time. An actual sale transaction of shares between buyer and seller is usually considered to provide the best prima facie market indicator as to the "true value" of shares at that particular time.

Heartbreak Survivor (ft. Jojo)

by: Charice

i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying
but now i'm smiling cause babe
i'm not worried, oh no
not worried about you
i used to think you had so much game
now it's like you don't even turn me on
and boy i'm no longer hurting, oh no no
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
there were times i thought i'd go crazy
there were days i thought i'd lost it all
but i'd rather be alone than have anything
have anything with you at all
i wasn't always the strongest girl
didn't have the toughest skin
but i've been to a place called heartbreak
courtesy of lyricshall.com
and i swore i'd never visit there again
heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
now i get to watch that building burn down
no longer a casualty, i'm living now
baby and one day i'll make it out somehow
heartbreak survivor
i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying
but now i'm smiling cause babe i'm not worried, oh no
heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
