stock exchange

Read a random definition: quoad valorem

A quick definition of stock exchange:

A stock exchange is a place where people buy and sell stocks, which are like little pieces of ownership in a company. When you buy a stock, you become a shareholder, which means you own a small part of that company. The stock exchange keeps track of who owns what stocks and helps people buy and sell them. There are different important dates related to stocks, like the date you become a shareholder, the date you get paid dividends (which is like a little bonus for owning the stock), and the date you have to pay for the stocks you buy.

A more thorough explanation:

A stock exchange is a place where people can buy and sell stocks, which are shares of ownership in a company. It's like a marketplace for stocks.

  • When you buy a share of stock in a company, you become a part owner of that company.
  • If you want to sell your stock, you can do so on a stock exchange.
  • The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the most well-known stock exchanges in the world.

These examples illustrate how a stock exchange works and how people can use it to invest in companies and make money.

Patience, patience, patience. If we can not be patient now, it will be even worse doing waitlist season.

@AcousticUnequalYak: I feel both happy n nervous about my app. Got decent A's and a YLS II but missing some others. My PS was about overcoming some personal struggles through college. Starting to wonder if it's a little controversial

15:51
@JazzyGazelle: also why tf did they keep telling you it would come out sooner
15:52
Yes supposedly by next tuesday IF they're actually being accurate this time. During the call yesterday afternoon they said they can't PROMISE my decision will be out, but that they will basically have a wave before next wed (since thanksgiving break happens). Dean was the one who kept changing the dates on me, I think they just had a HUGE number of applications that they didn't really expect.
