<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1338747, member: 3011&quot;]This isn&#039;t a baseless assertion.&nbsp; A share of common stock is a share in a business with revenues, assets, earnings and dividends.&nbsp; If one share of, say, Exxon has no value, then it sounds to me that you are saying all of the outstanding shares combined have no value.&nbsp; If this isn&#039;t obviously incorrect to your way of thinking, then I agree you should stay away from the stock market.&nbsp; Others who see the value should act differently.&nbsp; Now, the price of one share of Exxon can change depending on the actions of market participants; but the underlying value of the company will normally change at a much slower pace.&nbsp; This results in a situation where the price of the common stock of Exxon will periodically sell or more, and sometimes less than the value of the company.&nbsp; For those who can estimate this value, it can be very profitable to buy the common stock when it sells for a price significantly lower than the value of the company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that helps.&nbsp; Not everyone has an interest in the stock market or the training and that is okay.&nbsp; They should move on to other investments such as bonds, PMs, real estate, etc... But there is no need to assert that common stocks have no intrinsic value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
